JKNPP holds massive demonstration outside IGP HQs

 

Mahila Panthers lead protest against Police Deptt

Jammu, May 26:  Strongly condemning the District Udhampur Police for abusive and filthy language against NPP leaders, causing undue harassment and their victimized besides shielding the criminals involved in attack on Panthers Party leaders including female members, the Mahila Panthers today led a massive protest demonstration outside IGP Headquarters today. The protestors further alleged use of filthy and abusive language by SHO Basantgarh who hurled open threats to Panthers Party workers of arresting them alongwith entire family members. They raised slogans against SSP Udhampur for acting on the dictations of BJP for vested interests. They blocked the road outside IGP Headquarters leading to suspension of vehicular traffic for more than one hour.

Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Manju Singh General Secretary NPP 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. She said that apart from attacks on her and her husband several video-graphed threats of physically eliminating Chairman JKNPP had been provided to police which however had refused to take any action against the offenders.

            Making a mention of the recent episode of 14-05-2018, Mrs. Manju Singh said that a BJP worker named Mohan Singh addressed a gathering inside the premises of HSS Basantgarh during office hours in the presence of local BJP MLA and SHO Basantgarh where he not only used highly vituperative, offensive and provocative language but threatened that he would have spilled the blood of Panthers Party leaders with their dead bodies squatted on the ground in case the Panthers Chairman did not have PSOs. His video-graphed speech is being widely circulated in social media with police also having the requisite details of the same but the SHO too has colluded and no cognizance taken. The SHO Basantgarh has been arresting NPP workers on fake charges besides threatening them to stop speaking against BJP MLA. The said SHO even hurled threats upon Panthers Chairman saying that he was not an ordinary officer and had links with some top leaders and some ‘other people’. With police officer behaving like vandals and ruffians and using derogatory language with even most respected citizen, the Chief Minister surely owed an explanation for the conduct of the officers of her Home Deptt, said the NPP leaders.

            Mrs. Manju Singh further pointed out that the delinquent SHO was shielding the MLA Ramnagar who had assaulted a school teacher inside classroom in HSS Basantgarh alongwith his armed gunmen in June 2017 with 42 students having given statements as eye witnesses accusing the said MLA of having assaulted their teacher infront of their eyes. The said SHO has given a clean chit to the delinquent MLA in return for MLA agreeing to shield him in certain corruption complaints against the Police officer, she divulged.

Mrs. Manju Singh that her husband had been receiving threats of physical elimination from several BJP workers in the past and several notorious characters belonging to BJP had issued threats of killing her husband in open public meetings which were video-graphed and relevant footage provided to police authorities which, however, had refused to take cognizance because of political patronage enjoyed by the offenders. She said that abusive language and filthy comments were also posted by these notorious characters against her and her husband on the social media with a view to cause provocation whose print outs were also provided to the Police authorities for appropriate action which was still awaited. She demanded withdrawal of the frivolous FIR registered against her and Mr. Singh and sought immediate arrest of the criminals and all others involved in the conspiracy. “How Mehbooba led govt could grant immunity to those who assaulted a woman in full public view? Being a woman your silence against the perpetrators challenging the dignity of the women only shows the impuissance of the dispensation you are running. Justice delayed is justice denied”, anguished Manju Singh said. She announced to hold regular protests in case the culprits involved in the dastardly attack on her and her husband were not brought to book and Police officers working under the tutelage of BJP were not removed.
