They were carrying placards which read slogans like ‘Kashmir for Kashmiris’, ‘Stop ruling Jammu and Kashmir like a colony’, ‘Landless, jobless, homeless,’ ‘Stop bulldozing our homes.’
PDP leader Mohit Bhan alleged that the BJP government has been dispossessing the people of Jammu and Kashmir from their land and homes. He alleged that demolition exercise was being carried out through the arbitrary use of bulldozers to invent homelessness in Jammu and Kashmir.
