New Delhi, Aug 6 (IANS): Over 500 activists of the BJP's youth wing Tuesday evening were stopped here while marching towards the house of Defence Minister A.K. Antony to protest against the killing of five Indian soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir, police said.

The members of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) youth wing had started from Motilal Nehru Place in central Delhi but they were stopped a few meters away from the minister's residence on Krishna Menon Marg, police said.
