LUDHIANA: A deputation of District Congress Committee (Urban and Rural), Ludhiana under the leadership of district presidents Pawan Dewan (U) and Malkit Singh Dakha (R) today met Commissioner of Police PS Gill for registering a criminal case against those BJYM men who had allegedly indulged into naked goondagardi under the garb of staging a protest infront of the private residence of the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting (IC) Manish Tewari, MP, here on Sunday.
The delegation was mainly comprised of MLAs Rakesh Pandey and Surinder Dawa and the South Area in-charge Ashok Kumar Prashar Puppy, Ex-President DCC K.K Bawa, Youth Congress president Deepak Khandoor, Mahila Congress president Leena Taparia, NSUI president Sandeep Grewal, Leader of Opposition in MC House Hemraj Aggarwal and Deputy leader Raakesh Prashar, block presidents Baljinder Singh Bunty, Palwinder Taggar, Jarnail Singh Shimlapuri, Rakesh Sharma, Vinod Bathla, Mani Grewal, Gurmukh Singh Mithu,Sanjay Sharma, Satwinder Jwaddi, Kanwardeep Puppy, councillor Varinder Sehgal, Ashwani Sharma, Pritpal Singh Ghayal, Prof. Harjinderpal Singh Lalli, Navnish Mahotra, Sunny Kainth, Rohit Pahwa, Vikram pahalwan and Juggi Brar.
The delegation submitted live video and still photographs showing “goondagardi” by the BJYM men, in which the BJYM men are shown assaulting at the residence of Tewari. At the same time, no police personnel was seen present outside the Tewari’s residence. The police personnel arrived on the spot after about one and a half hour long goondagardi by the BJYM men.
After submitting memorandum to Commissioner of Police the Congress leaders namely Dewan, Dakha, Pandey and Dawar, Bawa spoke to the media persons and said BJP and BJYM men should feel ashamed on the failures of the ruling SAD-BJP alliance government in Punjab. they said BJP claims to represent the urbanites in Punjab but the hard fact was that people in urban areas of the state were badly annoyed with the state government’s anti-people policies. They said the BJYM workers should stage a protest outside the residences of CM and Deputy CM and raise voice in favour of the traders and industrialists of Ludhiana. They said the state government had forced the traders and industrialists to come on the roads after the implementation of e-TRIP.
They further said the industries were already migrating to other states due to faulty policies of the ruling alliance in Punjab, resulting to which the youths were getting unemployed. At the same time, the state government had been putting additional economic burden on people of Punjab by adding securities amount in the electricity bills, property tax was again anti-people step of the state government. This was because of pressure built up by the Congress that the state government had been compelled to reduce the rates, they said.
They regretted that BJP leaders in the state who claimed to be working in the interest of urbanites preferred to remain silent on every issue of the alliance government in Punjab. BJP did not oppose the implementation of e-TRIP, property tax and enhanced rates of electricity bills. The e-TRIP issue has been raised by the Congress.
