| RAJNEESH DEATH CASE | | MSS intensifies protests, police block dharna at Miniter’s residence | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 3- Activists of Mahila Sanrakshan Samiti (MMS), who were on their way to gherao the residence of Gandhi Nagar MLA Raman Bhalla, were today stopped from proceeding further as the road leading towards the residence was cordoned off with the deployment of heavy contingent of police. Irked by this, Samiti activists thereafter held a protest demonstration and raised slogans against him for intentionally avoiding meeting them.
Mahila Sanrakshan Samiti (MSS) Core Committee Members Usha Choudhary and Priya Sethi, expressing surprise over the attitude of the MLA for not giving a hearing to them, said that the Samiti activists were approaching him to remind that one month ago, a memorandum was submitted to him containing details of kidnapping, torture and custodial killing of a Jammu youth Rajneesh Sharma in Srinagar and he had assured of taking the matter seriously. But unfortunately, till date, he neither uttered a single word in public nor took up the matter with the CM or higher authorities of the police. Complete silence on part of the MLA like him, who always advocates equal treatment to Jammu and claims of ending discrimination, has made it clear that he too cannot dare to speak for justice to Jammuites. They said that the Samiti Core Committee Members had already talked to Raman Bhalla a day before and apprised him of their scheduled program and still use of force to stop them from reaching his residence is condemnable. ‘We are not criminals nor carrying arms and weapons for which barricades have been erected on the road’, they said adding that every one in a democracy has a right to approach the elected representative and we were not committing any crime in seeking his intervention into the matter.
Samiti members including Archana Koushal, Suresh Jamwal,Anuradha Charak,Sureshta Jamwal, Raj Rani, Sangita Gupta, Kiran Salathia, Vidhya Devi, Saroj Gupta, Parveen Arora, Geeta Singh, Sudersh Kour, Shilpi Verma, Sharda Devi, Sunita Kapahi, Meera Samral and Shakuntla Devi were prominent among those who took part in the protest demonstration.
