Demand grows for resignation of Jammu minister who roughed up engineer
August 08, 2014
Protests have erupted in Jammu and Kashmir after a senior officer of the health engineering
department resigned from service yesterday, accusing state minister
Choudhary Mohammad Ramzan of verbally abusing him during a meeting.
PHE officials have now held a strike in Srinagar and are demanding that the minister be sacked.
Ramzan, the state minister for Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution, denied the charge saying there was no truth in it and he was
only seeking an explanation for "failure" to execute a water supply
scheme.
The People's Democratic Party has demanded action against the minister.
