Dozens of protesters on Saturday (December 27, 2025) gathered outside Lok Bhavan in Jammu and set ablaze an effigy of Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, demanding revocation of the MBBS admission list of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi.
Raising slogans such as “LG go back”, the protest was organised by Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Sangharsh Samiti, a recently-formed conglomeration of various right-wing organizations.
Religion no criterion for admission at Vaishnodevi medical college, merit alone is: Omar Abdullah
JK BJP’s women activists and several trade leaders including president of Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industries Arun Gupta also joined the protest.
The protest led to the blocking of the main road outside Lok Bhavan, resulting in traffic snarls on adjoining roads and causing hardship to commuters for more than one-and-a-half hours.
