VHP calls for country-wide chakka-jam</b>
Jaipur (PTI): Demanding removal of Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra and restoration of land to the Amarnath shrine board, the VHP on Thursday called for a country-wide "chakka jam" for two hours on August 13.
All national highways would be blocked between 9 am and 11 am, VHP leader Jugalkishore told a press conference here.
"If anything positive emerged, VHP would reconsider its decision on chakka-jam.
"For the last 40 days life was paralysed in Jammu and 11 Hindus were killed during the agitation. The Congress-led UPA government is doing vote-bank politics to appease minority people," Jugalkishore said.
For temporary allotment of land to the Amarnath shrine board, a payment of Rs 2.31 crores was made to the J&K government, he said, adding that it was the present governor who did not seek advise of the board before withdrawing the land allotment.
