Jammu, September 18 (Scoop News) –   BJP leaders today expressed grave concern over the present turmoil in the Kashmir valley which has crippled the normal life due to failure of the Congress-NC coalition to maintain law and order.

In view of the forthcoming visit of All Parties Delegation to Jammu and Kashmir, a high level meeting of the BJP Senior Leaders, State Office Bearers and District & Morcha Presidents was held at Jammu under the leadership of State President Shamsher Singh Manhas.

The State government has been presenting the wrong impression about the whole situation by terming it as a political and Economic problem.
