The war of words regarding protests and law and order in Indian political circles has once again reached its peak. Union Minister and senior BJP leader Smriti Irani has made a direct and very aggressive attack on Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. During a heated press conference, Smriti Irani asked Rahul Gandhi why more than 280 Delhi Police officers on duty were brutally beaten during the recent violent protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi? He bluntly asked whether the Congress Party and its leaders want to spread anarchy in the country's capital and are giving protection to disturbances at sensitive places like Jantar Mantar? Let us understand from the perspective of an independent ground reporter what is the real and complete story behind this political conflict. The painful story of violent protests and attacks on policemen at Jantar Mantar: The situation suddenly went completely out of control during a protest organized by various political parties and groups at Jantar Mantar in the capital Delhi. The protesters broke the boundaries and police barricades and resorted to violence. When the policemen on duty tried to control the crowd, the angry protesters attacked them with sticks, stones and iron rods. In this sensational and cowardly attack, about 280 Delhi Police officers and soldiers were seriously injured, who had to be immediately admitted to various hospitals in the city. Many policemen suffered serious injuries and head and bone fractures were confirmed. Such a deadly attack on the khaki uniformed personnel deployed to maintain law and order has raised a big question mark on the security of the country's capital. Smriti Irani's direct and sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi and Congress leadership: After this dreadful incident, Union Minister Smriti Irani adopted an aggressive attitude and took on the Congress party and especially Rahul Gandhi. While addressing the press, Smriti Irani said that on one hand the Congress Party talks about saving the Constitution, while on the other hand, at their behest and under their patronage, the miscreants openly carry out murderous attacks on the country's law and order protectors i.e. the policemen. Smriti Irani directly sought answers from Rahul Gandhi and asked who were the people who instigated the violence at Jantar Mantar? He asked a sharp question whether Rahul Gandhi and his party want to create an atmosphere of anarchy by demoralizing the police forces of the country so that they can earn political profits? He stressed that the people of the country will never forgive those who don the khaki uniform and the leaders who patronize them. After this statement of Smriti Irani, sharp reactions are being seen in the political and social circles across the country. Police organizations and civil rights groups have also strongly condemned this violent incident. Experts say that in a democratic country, every citizen has the right to express his views, demonstrate and get his demands met, but resorting to violence under the guise of protest and taking the lives of law keepers cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. Political analysts believe that this incident has once again exposed the conflict between the police administration and political parties in Delhi politics, due to which there is every possibility that the political temperature will rise further in the coming days, from Parliament to the streets.
