About 100 protesters from various Kashmiri Pandit groups in the capital vented their ire at Union minister Saifuddin Soz's doorstep on Sunday after he reportedly refused to hear them out on the revocation of land allotment to the Amarnath shrine board.
Police said the protesters, including women and children, assembled outside Soz's house around 3.30pm and sought an audience with the leader. When he didn't oblige, they damaged the fence and broke flower pots outside the house, they said. Fifty protesters were detained and charged with rioting and damaging public property among other charges.
