Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) Bhadarwah unit on Thursday took out a candle march in the town to pay tributes to the slain BJP leader Anil Parihar and his brother Ajeet Parihar, last night.
The candle march started from Vasuki Nag Temple situated at Vasakdera and after passing through various markets, it culminated at Lakshmi Narayan Chowk Bhadarwah, where tributes were paid to the slain BJP state secretary Anil Parihar and his elder brother Ajeet Parihar, who were killed by some unidentified gunman in Kishtwar last week.
While speaking on the occasion, the VHP leaders demanded immediate arrest of accused persons involved in the attack.
Meanwhile, both communities of Kishtwar also took out a separate candle march as a sign of communal harmony in the sensitive district to pay tributes to the BJP leader and his brother.
The march was taken out from the residence of deceased BJP leader to old DC office Kishtwar, to express solidarity with the family of slain BJP leader and also send a message of communal harmony.
During the candle light march, locals demanded identification and arrest of the people involved in killing of Parihar brothers.
PDP unit Kishtwar also took out a candle march demanding action against the assailants of the BJP leader and his brother.
