Jammu: : The BJP and VHP on Sunday gave a shutdown call for Monday here and demanded the removal of Amarnath shrine board chairman and Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra after the board gave up its claim on the forest land allotted to it. “We want the removal of Vohra for succumbing to pressure.... This is the most shameful act as he has succumbed to a few protests of fundamentalists, political parties and separatists,” state BJP president Ashok Khajuria told reporters here. The shutdown call has been given to protest the decision. He said the BJP would soon launch a nationwide agitation on the issue and demanded dismissal of the Ghulam Nabi Azad-led Congress Government in the state.

The shutdown call was supported by state VHP president Ramakant Dubey, who also demanded that Vohra be replaced. Dubey alleged that the Centre in connivance with the PDP had hatched a conspiracy to put the Amarnath shrine board into oblivion.
