Unruly mobs set on fire the vehicle of Pradesh
BJP General Secretary Ajay Jamwal on Wednesday and tried to torch his official
residence in Gandhi Nagar area, eyewitnesses said.
Some unidentified people barged into the official
residence of Jamwal in the afternoon and burnt his vehicle.
They later damaged window panes and tried
to set the residential quarter ablaze.
Fire brigade personnel reached the spot on
time and doused the fire, eyewitnesses said. Jamwal was not at his residence
when the attack took place.
Vice-president and Spokesperson of the BJP's
state unit Hari Om said the incident was aimed at spreading scare among those
who are supporting the ongoing agitation for transfer of 100 acres of land
to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB).
