"PDP and BJP are pursuing a definite agenda to divide the people on the basis of region and religion", President National Conference Students Union (NCSU) Jammu ,Iftikhar Chowdhry, said while addressing a rally here.

Chowdhry referred to the incidents which took place at NIT Srinagar and Rajouri and blamed the government for its "wrong handling".

He said the forward looking, progressive and secular youngsters of the state will not allow such "machinations" to succeed and fight elements "inimical" to unity and tranquillity.
 

The NCSU President also expressed grave concern over growing unemployment, saying the government had no policy to tackle this problem.
