New Delhi, June 30: Perturbed over the decision
not to hand over forest land to the Amarnath shrine board, the BJP has
convened a special meeting of its office bearers in New Delhi on
Tuesday to discuss the issue.
The meeting will also review the political situation
in the state where the Congress-led coalition has been reduced to a
minority following withdrawal of PDP from the government, party sources
said.
They said the party, which views the Amarnath
development as "surrender of government machinery to separatist
forces", is planning a nation-wide agitation on the issue.
Reacting spontaneously to the decision not to hand
over 40 hectares of forest land to the board, the BJP and Sangh Parivar
outfits are observing bandh in Jammu on Monday and their supporters
have clashed with police at several places there.
