Mankotia said that it was unfortunate that the district administration imposed section 144 to suppress the voice of the innocent labourers.
The forcible lifting of five labourers of Katra Sangarsh Simiti, who were observing fast unto death, and lathi-charged by police had only exposed the draconian face of the state government who was persistently resorting to the policy of oppression to quell the voice of the people, he said.
Restrictions under section 144 of CrPc were imposed in Katra, base camp of Mata Vaishnodevi Cave shrine in Reasi district in view of the protests by labourers andpotters against opening up of the new battery car track to the pilgrimage.
