New Delhi: The political temperature rose further in Delhi’s Connaught Place on Thursday when a youth made serious allegations of beating up Congress workers. According to the information, the incident took place outside the restaurant where Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had organized a lunch for the leaders of INDIA alliance. The victim youth has been identified as Faheem Nazir, a resident of Srinagar.
Beaten and abused for asking questions
Faheem Nazir alleged that he had asked a question to Rahul Gandhi, after which Congress supporters surrounded him and beat him badly. Faheem said, “In 1998, Rajiv Gandhi brought EVM for the first time, you all have the footage. I did not abuse Rahul Gandhi, but I was beaten. I am taking this initiative to make the country understand that a conspiracy is being hatched to make the country like Nepal and Bangladesh. Asking questions to Rahul Gandhi is my freedom of expression.”
BJP’s sharp attack
As soon as this incident came to light, BJP strongly attacked Congress. While addressing a press conference in Delhi, BJP spokesperson Siddharth Yadav said that while Rahul Gandhi was having lunch, a Kashmiri Muslim youth was beaten up by Congress workers. He said, “We want to ask, does no one in this country have human rights except the Nehru-Gandhi-Vadra family? How long will you keep selling hatred in your shop of love? The videos that have surfaced have caused outrage in the entire country. No political party has the right to do such things.”
Rahul Gandhi accused of misbehaving with female policemen
BJP spokesperson also accused Rahul Gandhi of scuffling with women policemen. He said that this behavior of the opposition leader is one of the most shameful incidents in the democratic history of India. Rahul Gandhi should answer this and stop spreading anarchy. Congress has been completely exposed and the country is asking questions.
