MP: Cong takes out silent march to protest vandalisation of its Jabalpur office

[ad_1]
Jabalpur: Congress leaders on Sunday took out a silent march in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur to protest the vandalisation of their city office. The party has blamed Bajrang Dal for the vandalism.
The Congress has been facing backlash from BJP and right-wing outfits for bracketing Bajrang Dal with the Popular Front of India (PFI) in its manifesto for the May 10 Karnataka polls.
The party leaders started from Shahid Smarak and ended their protest at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Town Hall, said a Congress functionary.

“Congressmen are Gandhians. We are not going to storm their office. We are going to do a peaceful protest till 200-odd Bajrang Dal men, some of them history-sheeters, are not arrested,” mayor and city Congress president Jagat Bahadur Singh told PTI.
The Congress has also demanded action against two inspectors from Kotwali and Lordganj police stations. These inspectors were deputed at the “Bajrang Dal’s protest site but were conspicuous by their absence”, Singh said.
After the Congress’ office in the Baldeo Bagh area was vandalised on Thursday, the Bajrang Dal had claimed that it was involved in the act.
Two days ago, police said that they had arrested 10 persons, including prime accused Sumit Singh Thakur who is the “vibhag prachar pramukh” of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). Bajrang Dal is the youth wing of the VHP.
Earlier, a police official had said that they had booked 25 people on the basis of video footage and a complaint for rampaging through the Congress city office.

Additional Superintendent of Police Priyanka Shukla could not be reached contacted despite repeated attempts to know how many people have been arrested till date.
The protesting Congress workers included Rajya Sabha member Vivek Tankha and MLAs Tarun Bhanot, Sanjay Yadav, and Lakhan Gangoria.

MP: Bajrang Dal attacks Congress workers, wreaks havoc in Jabalpur party office

[ad_1]
Hindutva organisation Bajrang Dal members entered the Congress party office and vandalised as well as attacked party members in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh on Thursday.
Ever since the Congress Karnataka unit declared to ban Bajrang Dal in its manifesto if voted to power, a similar demand has emerged in Madhya Pradesh.
कांग्रेस ने कर्नाटक में हुड़दंगबाज संगठन बजरंग दल को बैन करने की घोषणा की, इधर बजरंग दल के कार्यकर्ता जबलपुर स्थित कांग्रेस कार्यालय में घुस गए और तोड़ फोड़ करने लगे। क्या इन आतंकवादियों पर बैन नहीं लगना चाहिए? pic.twitter.com/xY5i8hy9K1

According to local reports, more than a dozen Bajrang Dal members entered the Congress party office shouting Jai Shree Ram carrying large sticks and faces covered with saffron cloths.

They damaged the roof and threw stones at the office.
Condemning the attack, Jabalpur Congress Dinesh Yadav compared the act to impotence. “This is not a protest. It is impotence. The police are also to be blamed for not acting swiftly,” he said.
Another Congress leader Anand Jat said that the true face of Bajrang Dal was exposed to the public. “This is absolute hooliganism and anti-social activity. The BJP will lose the elections here,” he said.
On May 2, the Congress party released its manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections in Karnataka promising to ban the Hindutva organisation Bajrang Dal if voted to power.
It identified and compared Bajrang Dal to the same lengths as the banned Islamic organisation PFI (Popular Front of India).

It created a stir in Karnataka politics as well as outside with many leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and RSS charging that the Congress is a threat to India’s sovereignty and integrity.
“This is the last election for the Congress party. If they are defeated, they will go straight to their houses. This is a do-or-die situation for them. It is indeed a dying situation for Congress,” Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai slammed the Congress party.

[ad_1]
Bhopal: A Congress leader has been booked over his alleged offensive remarks during a public speech in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur district, sources said on Saturday.
While addressing the people on Friday, district president of the Congress Nilesh Jain exhorted his supporters to tackle the corrupt with an iron hand. “First request the corrupt against corruption with folded hands, and if they don’t listen, then break their hands.”
He was booked the same day on the basis of a complaint registered by a Bharatiya Yuva Morcha of Jabalpur.
His utterances came a day after the state unit Congress kicked-started its ‘Hath Se Hath jodo’ campaign, a political march that will cover all 230 Assembly seats in the state. At the event, Jain said – “Haath jodo, nahi mane to brahmachari ke haath todo’ (First request the corrupt with folded hands, and if they don’t listen, then break their hands)”
Rajmani Singh, who is the district president of Bharatiya Yuva Morcha of Jabalpur district, lodged a complaint at Shahpura police station. The Congress leader has been charged under two sections, including 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), said police.
