The protests against this injustice will continue,” senior PDP leader and district president Baramulla Mohammad Rafique Rather said.PDP spokesman Mohit Bhan said that in all the districts of J&K, senior leaders were detained. “The protests were held at all district headquarters of Kashmir, in districts Rajouri, Poonch, and at district Jammu,” he said.The PDP is at the forefront and has launched scathing attacks on the ruling NC and the J&K government over the “outsourcing “of jobs, terming it an injustice to thousands of unemployed youth.
