Another Shame for Gujarat BJP government: Congress woman MP manhandled

NEW DELHI/AHMEDABAD: In yet another shame by Gujarat government and police a woman MP of Congress was manhandled by state police in her home constituency during Wednesday Gujarat Divas celebrations.

The action drew sharp condemnation of Gujarat’s BJP government by members of non-NDA parties. The members of the Left parties, SP, BSP, Trinamool Congress, AIADMK and RJD came together and demand for an action. The MP showed bruises sustained on her arms after the alleged police action.

The state government was rubbishing the charges by saying that the action against her was part of the “administrative process”. The MP along with the four party MLAs — Vaju Panda, Bacchu Kishori, Chandrika Bariya, Dita Macchar — were detained when they were trying to demonstrate near the venue of the celebrations at Dahod.

Girija Vyas raise this issue in the parliament and claimed that the MP was pulled by her hair and manhandled.

“The occasion was of Gujarat Day celebrations. The MP was invited to the function. When you are going in the capacity of MP and as an invited guest one should act likewise,” Vyas told reporters in Ahmedabad.
