Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 21: Expressing strong indignation over the immunity granted to BJP workers who, of late, have allegedly been physically assaulting the JKNPP leadership, number of Panthers Party workers led by its Chairman and former Minister Harsh Dev Singh held a dharna and protest outside the office of IGP Jammu at Zonal Headquarters of Police today.
The protesters alleging murderous assault on Harsh Dev Singh and his wife Manju Singh besides some local NPP leaders sought immediate arrest of the criminals who, they said, were being sheltered by the police at the behest of their political bosses. They raised slogans against Police Deptt. The agitated protesters showed black flags to the CM Mehbooba Mufti who passed through the venue of protest accusing her of shielding corrupt and biased police officers.
Speaking on the occasion, Harsh Dev Singh said that some vandals and criminals owing allegiance to BJP had been assigned the charge of physically eliminating the Panthers leaders in which some police officers of district Udhampur had been conniving. He said that apart from attacks on him and his wife several video-graphed threats of physically eliminating him had been provided to police which however had refused to take any action against the offenders.
