Jammu: Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly and senior Bharatiya Janat party (BJP) leader, Sunil Sharma on Wednesday said that the National Conference (NC) is trying to shield their relatives and workers, who have encroached on the Waqf land.

Talking to reporters, Sharma as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that NC is least concerned about Waqf bill, but it is trying to divert the attention as the party wants to protect their relatives and workers, who have encroached the lands, calling it as a ‘Land Jihad’ in Kashmir.
