Omar govt not providing adequate security to sarpanches: BJP

Jammu: The BJP on Wednesday alleged the NC-led government was not providing adequate security to panches and sarpanches in Jammu and Kashmir.

"Elected sarpanches and panches are being regularly killed and no action has been taken for safety and security of these public representatives," Jammu BJP vice-president Vibodh Gupta said.

"Those who took oath of office under the Constitution are getting killed but the state government has remained a mute spectator to this," he said.

People had been fed up with the NC-Congress government in the state, Gupta said.
