Led by J&K Congress Vice President Raman Bhalla, Congress activists and workers held the protest demonstration near Press Club Jammu to lodge protest over the situation which has arisen in the Valley.
Congress leaders expressed strong resentment over the prevailing situation in the Kashmir Valley due to "mishandling" of the situation by the State and Central Government beside failure of the Government to ensure fool proof security and adequate arrangements to Amarnath Yatris.
The police prevented them from marching ahead as they raised slogans against Pakistan and denounced terrorism.
"We criticise the Centre and State Government and hold them responsible for the present situation ....", Bhalla said.
