Hindu anger made Delhi jails overflow with Amarnath Yatra Sangharsh
Samiti protestors. They launched the Jail Bharo agitation. Over a lakh
people courted arrest on a single day in Delhi. They included top
political leaders, RSS pracharaks, women and children. It was a joint
protest of all Hindu organisations to extend support to the month-old
Amarnath Shrine Board agitation in Jammu.

There are reports of similar protests from other parts of the
country also. Thousands of protestors including BJP, RSS, VHP and
Bajrang Dal activists courted arrest in Ahmedabad on August 21. RSS
Prant Sanghachalak Shri Amritbhai Kariwala and Swami Akhileshananda
Maharaj led the agitation.

Carrying the tri-colours and saffron flags the agitators in
Delhi declared on August 21 that they are ready for any kind of
sacrifice for Baba Amarnath. The countrywide Jail Bharo Andolan under
the banner of Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangharsh Samiti will continue till
August 23.

The agitators had prominently targeted six DCP offices of
Delhi including Nand Nagari, Bhola Nath Nagar, Hauz Khas, Rajouri
Garden, Ashok Vihar and Paharganj. They assembled at certain points and
then marched towards the respective DCP offices, where they courted
arrest. All the people were released by noon. A memorandum was
submitted to each DCP at all the six places.

Addressing the gathering in Rajouri Garden VHP general
secretary Dr Pravin Togadia said the Hindus would not allow anybody for
another partition of the country. “Nothing less than the land and
restoration of autonomous status to the shrine board is acceptable to
us. The anti-national elements indulged in burning the national flag
and hoisting Pakistani flag must be booked immediately,” he said.
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Prof. Jagdish Mukhi, Shri
Satyendra Mohan, Shri Roshanlal Gorakhpuriya, Shri Om Prakash Pahuja
were among the other dignitaries who courted arrest there.
