The BJP on Saturday asserted that the 바카라state-sponsored and brutal바카라 police action on its procession in the Bihar capital earlier this week warranted a judicial inquiry and intervention of the National Human Rights Commission.
A four-member fact-finding team constituted by BJP national president J P Nadda stated this here, as it met several party activists, who sustained injuries in the police action on June 13 and are undergoing treatment at hospitals.
The team members also include former Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das and Members of Parliament Manoj Tiwari, Sunita Duggal, and Vishnu Dayal Ram.
Duggal alleged that women BJP workers were 바카라hit with lathis on their chests and heads by male police personnel바카라 on Thursday when the party was staging a 바카라Vidhan Sabha march바카라 in protest against the Nitish Kumar government바카라s teacher recruitment policy.
Tiwari, who is a Lok Sabha MP from Delhi, but has his roots in Bihar, claimed 바카라771 BJP workers바카라 were injured in the incident, and 바카라some of them were chased to hospitals and thrashed inside the premises바카라.
The team members alleged that the incident reminded them of the 바카라Jallianwala Bagh massacre바카라 and wondered whether 바카라hired goons were donning police uniforms바카라.
바카라We will submit a report on our investigation to the national president and strongly recommend a judicial inquiry,바카라 said the panel members, who replied in the affirmative when asked whether they would also approach the NHRC with the request to look into the matter.
바카라Our state president Samrat Choudhary will pursue the matter with NHRC,바카라 said the members, who spoke with the Bihar unit chief seated by their side.
The panel alleged that rules were not followed in the use of water cannons, tear gas shells, and lathi-charge, and claimed BJP workers, whom they spoke to, have insisted that it was they at whom chilli powder was thrown, and not the other way round.
About the controversy surrounding the death of Jehanabad district general secretary Vijay Singh, the team members expressed dismay at the local administration in Patna 바카라giving a clean chit바카라 to itself even before the post-mortem report.
Meanwhile, Neeraj Kumar, chief spokesman of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar바카라s JD(U), questioned the fact-finding team바카라s failure to meet the bereaved family members of Singh.
바카라They could not take the trouble to visit the home of the deceased, barely 50 km from Patna. It speaks volumes about the BJP바카라s apathy towards its workers,바카라 alleged Neeraj Kumar.
