Scores of BJP workers and leaders staged a demonstration in the city on Wednesday condemning the Congress government in State for arresting a Hindutva activist in connection with violence in 1992 following the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.
The arrest of the activist Srikant Poojary was described by the BJP as an ‘’act of appeasement of the minorities’’. The BJP activists proclaimed that they too had taken part in the Ayodhya movement and wanted action to be initiated against them by the government.
The remarks of the Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad cautioning of a ‘Godhra-like incident’ was flayed by the BJP workers who sought his arrest for issuing incendiary statements.
