Srinagar, May 21: BJP on Tuesday held a protest demonstration in Srinagar against the killing of former Sarpanch in Shopian.

“The party believes that the administration’s negligence led to the untimely death of Aijaz Ahmad Sheikh, and thus the matter needs to be probed in-depth and justice delivered to the victim’s family,” protestors said.
