New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) A day after a BJP delegation met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding restoration of normalcy in J&K, the party today announced it would observe August 21 as 'Save Jammu and Kashmir Day' across the country to protest against the law and order situation there. "Under the UPA government at the Centre and the Omar Abdullah government in the state, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is one of lawlessness... BJP Core Group in its meeting today decided the party will observe August 21 as Jammu and Kashmir Bachao Diwas across the country," BJP General Secretary Ananth Kumar said. A BJP delegation, comprising senior party leaders L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and 10 MLAs from the violence-hit state, met the Prime Minister yesterday. Advani is said to have had told to the Prime Minister that his government was "clueless" about what was going on in the state and demanded that law and order be restored and an all-party meeting be convened to discuss the future course of action. Kumar alleged that under Congress-ruled UPA government, the border state had moved from "separate status (under Article 370) to separatism" and said that the BJP condemned this. On August 21, BJP workers will hold public meetings at the party headquarters in state capitals, which will be attended by Central unit leaders. "We want that the Army and security forces in Jammu and Kashmir should not be decreased. Government should take no step which would demoralise the security forces deployed in the state. AFSPA should not be diluted," Kumar demanded. The issue also witnessed much debate in the Rajya Sabha with the main opposition BJP saying that the situation in the Valley is "slipping out of control". It warned the govt against "knee jerk reactions" by giving a political package, claiming any such concession at this stage would further "dilute the sovereignty" of the region.
