BJP national general secretary and Karimnagar MP candidate Bandi Sanjay Kumar has demanded that the Government take action against the perpetrators responsible for the communal clashes in Chengicherla during a religious procession on Thursday.
Talking to the media after visiting the clash site and interacting with some of the affected families, the BJP leader called for suspension of the police officials who had allegedly roughened up a section of the people. He wanted the Government to ensure justice to the injured and provide adequate protection to the families.
Mr. Sanjay Kumar questioned the police role during the clash and alleged that they had been partisan arrested just five persons responsible for their alleged role in attacking a section of people with weapons. “Is it secularism if cases are booked against those who were at the receiving end leaving those who resorted to violence against women scot-free,” he asked.
