The political activity outside Delhi’s Sansad Marg police station intensified when Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi started a dharna in the police station premises in support of student Sahil Lochan who was injured in the pellet gun incident. Rahul Gandhi has clearly announced that his protest will continue until an FIR is registered under relevant sections in this matter. Amidst this entire incident, the Bharatiya Janata Party has strongly retaliated against the Congress Party and termed this demonstration as “politics of anarchy”.
Rahul Gandhi has been sitting in the police station premises for three hours
According to the information received, Rahul Gandhi has been sitting on strike in the premises of Sansad Marg police station in Delhi for the last 3 hours. A large number of Congress party workers are also present with him and in view of the situation, strict security arrangements have been made in the area. The policemen are continuously trying to convince and pacify them.
Quoting police sources, it has come to light that the police has taken up the complaint given by the victim Sahil. Since the cases related to the violence at Jantar Mantar are being investigated by the Crime Branch, this complaint will also be handed over to the Crime Branch for further action.
Victim Sahil Lochan expressed his pain
Pellet gun victim Sahil Lochan, who was at the center of this entire controversy, while sharing his ordeal said that he was attacked with a pellet gun near Connaught Place on July 20. After this serious incident, he was immediately admitted to Lady Hardinge Hospital, from where he was later referred to AIIMS. He underwent two surgeries at AIIMS, but despite this his eyesight has not completely recovered and he cannot see clearly. The victim alleges that he had given a 7-page written complaint through his lawyer on August 14, but the police has not yet registered an FIR in this case.
BJP’s sharp attack: ‘This is an attempt to divert attention from politics’
Reacting to this dharna and protest by Congress, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad made a scathing attack. He said that it is extremely unfortunate that opposition leader Rahul Gandhi is indulging in such politics which can be called completely anarchic politics. He said that Rahul Gandhi has sat on strike at the Parliament Street Police Station without any prior permission or official information.
Ravi Shankar Prasad further said that the police had already informed him that an FIR has already been registered in connection with this incident and an impartial investigation into the matter is underway. Apart from this, the Honorable Supreme Court has also constituted a high-level committee to investigate this. The BJP alleged that this move by the Congress is mainly a deliberate attempt to divert people’s attention from other important national issues, which proves that they do not respect any law and rule of the country.
