The patron of Chinhit Rajya Andolankari Sanyukt Samiti and Vice President of Uttarakhand Congress, Dhirendra Pratap has said that effigies of state government would be burned in all the 13 districts of the state for three days in protest against registering of cases on statehood activists on July 14. Addressing the media persons at Uttarakhand Sadan in Delhi on Saturday, Pratap said that cases were registered on statehood activists when they organised a Raj Bhawan Gherao programme. He said that protests would be organised in all the districts of the state on July 18, 19 and 20. Pratap said that Uttarakhand was created due to the sacrifice of the statehood activists and it is unfortunate that the state government has started targeting them along with opposition parties. He said that instead of providing 10 per cent reservations to statehood activists in government jobs and giving them pensions the government is registering cases on them.
