The Indian Army staged a flag march in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. This was followed by angry protests after a senior BJP leader and his brother were shot dead by suspected militants.

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s state secretary Anil Parihar, 52, and his brother Ajeet, 55, were returning home from their shop when they were fired upon from close range at a dark, narrow lane leading to their house, the officials said, adding this was the first such political killing in Jammu region in recent years.
