Jammu, May 21: Expressing strong indignation over the immunity granted to BJP workers who, of late, have been physically assaulting the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) leadership including its female, scores of Panthers Party workers today staged a protest demonstration outside IGP office Jammu.
The protestors alleging murderous assault upon JKNPP leaders Harsh Dev Singh and his wife Manju Singh besides some local NPP leaders sought immediate arrest of the criminals who were being sheltered by the Police at the behest of their political bosses.
They raised slogans against Police department accusing it of working as agents of the BJP besides raising slogans of 'BJP murdabaad' and 'SSP Udhampur murdabaad'.
The agitated protestors showed black flags to the CM Mehbooba Mufti who passed through the venue of protest accusing her of shielding corrupt and biased police officers.
Speaking on the occasion, Harsh Dev Singh said that some vandals and criminals owing allegiance to BJP had been assigned the charge of physically eliminating the Panthers leaders in which some police officers of District Udhampur had been conniving. He said that apart from attacks on him and his wife several video-graphed threats of physically eliminating him had been provided to police which however had refused to take any action against the offenders.
Harsh Dev Singh said that a BJP worker addressed a gathering in HSS Basantgarh during office hours in the presence of local BJP MLA and local SHO where he not only used highly vituperative, offensive and provocative language but threatened that he would have spilled the blood of Panthers Party leaders with their dead bodies squatted on the ground in case the Panthers Chairman did not have PSOs. His video-graphed speech is being widely circulated in social media with police also having the requisite details of the same but the SHO too has colluded and no cognizance taken.
Likewise on 17th March, Singh said that he and his wife, Manju Singh were assaulted by the very same person at Kuh Nala alongwith several other notorious characters including Ramiez Sheikh and Makhan Bandral while they were on their way to their ancestral village Chanunta. And rather than booking the culprits, the police had registered cases against him and his wife, pointed a dismayed Harsh.
Manju Singh General Secretary NPP said that her husband had been receiving threats of physical elimination from several BJP workers in the past and several notorious characters belonging to BJP had issued threats of killing her husband in open public meetings which were video-graphed and relevant footage provided to police authorities which, however, had refused to take cognizance.
JKNPP also condemned the recent attack on Party State Secretary Sham Gorkha by the BJP goons which too had gone unnoticed.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Rajesh Padgotra, Kesar Parveen, Sham Gorkha, Gagan Partap Singh, Karnail Singh, Sukhjit Singh, Khajoor Singh, Nirmal Kishore, Rajeshwar Singh, Rashpaul Singh, Mohinder Singh, Rampaul Sharma, Vishab Singh, Udhayveer Singh, S.Vijenderpal Singh, Sansar Chand, Ashok Chouhan, Sarjun Singh, Sohan Singh, Vishal Kumar, Rahul Singh, Sahil Sharma besides others. |
