EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu/Nov 30 Former president and Bhartiya Janta Party MLA Ashok Khajuria has hailed Delhites for hurling shoes and stones on Hurriyat leader.
Talking to Early Times he said that it should be the responsibility of every citizen of India to throw shoes on those who speak against India.
The BJP MLA’s statement bore results today when the youth wing of BJP on Tuesday attacked Kashmiri separatist Hurriyat Conference Mirwaiz Umer Farooq's car when he was entering Foreign Correspondent's club here to attend a seminar.
Meanwhile, policemen in civil had been deployed in and around hotel Krishna at Residency Road following lodging of two rooms of the hotel by three Hurriyat leaders- viz Farooq Ahmed alias Bitta Karata, Mushtaq Mohd Dar and Mohd Rafiq, all residents of Srinagar.
Trio had come to Jammu for attending court hearing which was stated to be held today. Police men were also keeping watch on their activities in room numbers109 and 309 of the hotel.
As the news about Mirwaiz’s presence at the seminar came out, activists of Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha assembled outside the venue and shouted slogans against the Mirwaiz.
Shouting slogans like "Bharat Mata ki Jai" and "Vande Mataram", the demonstrators hurled eggs, water bottles and a few stones at the SUV of the Mirwaiz, damaging the windscreen of the vehicle.
Nearly one company (120 personnel) of CRPF and Delhi Police personnel escorted the Mirwaiz into the venue of the seminar.
"We are here to protest the Mirwaiz's presence. He should not be allowed to participate in any programme as he furthers anti-India agenda," BJYM activist Anil Sharma told reporters while he was being detained.
Some of the youths, who were being whisked away by CRPF, told the personnel of para-military force that it was ironical that they (CRPF) were trying to save a person who had been instrumental in tarnishing their image in the Kashmir Valley.
The commotion lasted for nearly 45 minutes before the protesters were whisked away in two buses.
This is the third attack on the Mirwaiz in last five days. Earlier, he was attacked on November 28 by members of BJP's student wing who hurled eggs at his vehicle here and displayed banners.
The Mirwaiz was coming out of an auditorium in Kolkata after attending a seminar on 'Kashmir- A Way Out' when members of Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), who were holding banners and shoes tied to a stick, threw eggs at his car, besides shouting slogans.
On November 25, the Mirwaiz and another separatist leader Bilal Lone were heckled by activists of Hindu organisations during a seminar in Chandigarh
