Congress hits out at Jai Ram govt, AAP stages protests

SHIMLA/DHARAMSHALA : With no headway in the case related to the appearance of Khalistani flags and graffiti in the Vidhan Sabha Complex in Dharamshala, the Congress trained its guns at the Jai Ram Thakur-led state government for overlooking the repeated threats issued by the banned organisation, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged statewide protests.

Congress president Pratibha Singh has expressed concern over the threats issued by SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and urged the government to act promptly and arrest the separatist leader immediately.

AAP on Tuesday held a statewide protest and submitted a memorandum to the governor seeking tough action against the culprits.

The party also cornered the state government on the issue of lapses in security and demanded the chief minister to step down.
