The Dogras from Mirpur city recently celebrated the 200th Coronation Day of Maharaja Gulab Singh, the founder of Jammu and Kashmir, and accused Pakistan of promoting religious extremism, militancy and `jihad' (holy war) in Jammu and Kashmir.

The move has irked Pakistan as the Dogras accused Islamabad for unleashing a reign of terror in the newly formed Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

Speaking to , the Chairman of National Equality Party JKGBL Prof. Sajjad Raja said, "Rich tributes were paid to the founder of the State, Maharaja Gulab Singh and it was declared that the State was founded by a Hindu King and it shall be saved by taking Hindus of the State on-board now".

He added, "JKGBL leaders addressed the event and said that they will face Pakist establishment all over the world and would turn no stone unturned to expose Pakistan for promoting religious extremism, militancy and jihad in the State".

The National Equality Party JKGBL celebrated the 200th State Foundation Day of Jammu and Kashmir last month all across the world.
