Senior leaders and party cadre of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir, held a strong protest demonstration at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Chowk (Panama Chowk), Jammu, expressing deep resentment over the recent decision to make Urdu language compulsory for the newly advertised Naib Tehsildar posts.

The protest saw widespread participation from six organizational districts of BJP, namely Jammu, Jammu South, Jammu North, Jammu Border, Akhnoor, and Kashmir Displaced.

The BJP charged the government with regional and linguistic discrimination, warning that such moves were reminiscent of the Omar Abdullah-led National Conference (NC) government's biased and Kashmir-centric policies, which persistently ignored the interests of Jammu and its youth.

Former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta, DDC Chairperson Bharat Bhushan, and BJP Secretary & MLA Arvind Gupta, MLAs Ch. Vikram Randhawa, Prof. Gharu Ram Bhagat, Surinder Bhagat, Dr. Rajeev Bhagat, and Mohan Lal Bhagat, DDC Vice-Chairperson Suraj Singh, DDC Suresh Sharma, Dharminder Kumar, former Mayor JMC
