At a press conference, city chief Ch. Ramachandra Reddy, former Deputy Mayor G. Subash Chanderji, senior leaders B. Bal Reddy, B. Venkat Reddy and others accused the police of using excessive force on its cadre when they undertaking a “peaceful demonstrations” in different parts. The action programme was part of the BJP’s nationwide protest against the Jammu and Kashmir government for withdrawing the land allotted to the Amarnath Shrine Board. Mr. Reddy also blamed the Majlis party for attacking its activists with “swords and roads” without any provocation at Abids against the cadre.

“Two of its MLAs instigated a mob to attack our men mercilessly while the police was a mute witness to the incident,” the BJP leaders alleged. And the police, instead of arresting the mob with weapons, had filed cases against the party activists.
