‘BJP’s halla bol to divert people’s attention’
Description
Jaipur: Transport minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas on Monday called the BJP’s statewide ‘halla bol’ protest as a move to divert people’s attention from gangrape case of Hatras and ongoing protest over farm bills. “It is shameful that the BJP has held a protest for no reason. They didn’t care for people as they mobilised people without thinking that it can lead to spreading of Covid,” said Khachariyawas, who questioned the conduct of Yogi government which had cremated the body of the victim without taking permission from the family. He added that at a time the government was leaving no stones unturned to ensure that every individual gets medical aid, masks and free food/ration, the BJP was busy holding rallies and protests. “I would like to ask what they did for people of the state during lockdown and now,” said the transport minister. Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra attended the silent protest to take on BJP’s halla bol in Sikar. He along with party Sikar incharge Subhash Garg slammed the BJP of violating Section 144. Meanwhile in Ajmer, Congress organised a silent Satyagraha at Gandhi Samarak for about two hours condemning the Hathras incident and demanded removal of the Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh. Congress alleged that under the BJP government, UP has become a ‘gundaraj’ and no one was safe.
