Congress Leaders Detained During Statehood March in Jammu
Some leaders from a political party called Congress were marching in Jammu to ask for Jammu and Kashmir to become a state again.
They wanted to give a letter to the Lieutenant Governor, who is like the boss of the area.
But, the police stopped them and put the leaders in jail.
The Congress party is upset because they think the government is not listening to the people.
They are going to keep asking for the state to be restored and even plan to go to Delhi to protest.
Other political parties are also supporting them.
Congress leaders, including PCC chief Tariq Hameed Karra, were detained in Jammu while marching for J&K statehood.
The march aimed to submit a memorandum to the Lieutenant Governor.
This was the second day of police action against Congress rallies on the statehood issue.
