Kashmir, 27/12: As all political parties in Jammu and Kashmir have supported demands of Kashmiri Pandit and Dogra employees for “relocation” from Kashmir in view of targeted killings, the BJP has been forced to join the bandwagon despite Lt Governor Manoj Sinha “no work no pay” assertions.
Following targeted killings of a few Pandit and Dogra employees in the Valley, the rest are demanding their relocation and are protesting for it in Jammu for the past over two 200 days.
The relocation demand erupted soon after, Rahul Bhat, who was working in the revenue department, was shot dead by militants inside the office premises in Chadoora village in central Kashmir’s Budgam district on May 12.
On December 21, Sinha said employees from the minority community, including Pandits protesting in Jammu and not resuming their duties in Kashmir, would not be paid salaries
