| Protests in Jammu over scholarship scheme for children of slain terrorists, | | | Agencies
Jammu , June 25
Amassive controversy has erupted in Jammu and Kashmir after the Union Territory administration announced that it was going to make 27 services for citizens available online, including the already existing scheme of providing scholarships to orphans of slain militants. The announcement was made by the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) in a tweet.
The decision of the government has evoked sharp reactions from people in Jammu region who have lashed out at the UT administration and demanded immediate cancellation of the policy of giving scholarships to children of slain militants.
Protests were staged by Rashtriya Bajrang Dal in Jammu on Wednesday against the policy. Raising slogans against the Modi government and the J&K administration, the protesters alleged that the government was appeasing militants and their families.
"Government must give scholarships to children of soldiers who have laid down their lives for the nation. But J&K government is giving scholarships to children of terrorists. This can't be tolerated. We demand that the policy to grant scholarships to children of killed terrorists be scrapped," said Rakesh Bajrangi, President, J&K Unit of Rashtriya Bajrang Dal. |
