Speaking to the media, Kesar Parveen condemned the gruesome incident and alleged BJP men assaulted Panthers Party’s candidate from DDC Khoon at village Kail in Majalta when she was heading to address a public meeting. A FIR was lodged in Majalta Police Station and subsequently the medical test confirmed that assailant was heavily drunk, disclosed Kesar Parveen. She said, while the BJP activist abused, misbehaved and physically assaulted the female candidate of NPP, the mastermind behind the entire episode was a senior party leader who conspired, provoked and abetted the offences by using a poor man. “It is unfortunate that all complaints filed against him earlier have been disregarded and a sort of immunity given to him by the political clout which has emboldened him to the extent that he is openly issuing life threats besides causing assaults upon men and even women opponents.
She alleged that BJP leader had abetted and organized a similar attack on NPP leader around a year back at Kuh-Nallah on Udhampur-Ramnagar road. “Why he is still moving scot free? Why he has not been arrested until now?”, questioned Parveen.
Mahila Panther leaders regretted that despite lodging FIR against the BJP leader no action had been taken against him by the authorities concerned. They sought his immediate arrest for conspiring the deadly attack on NPP candidate.
Strongly condemning the BJP for vandalizing the NPP office a day ago, the leaders sought appropriate punitive action against the offenders who trespassed into the Party office and causing damage to office property.
