Congress Leaders Demand Investigation into Police Action on Jitu Patwari in Indore
On August 8, a group of Congress leaders from Madhya Pradesh visited the office of the Director General of Police (DGP) in Bhopal. They submitted a memorandum demanding an investigation into an incident where the Indore police used force against Congress state chief Jitu Patwari and other party members during a protest.
Former Union Minister Arun Yadav, former Minister PC Sharma, Congress MLA Arif Masood, and State Congress Media In-charge Mukesh Nayak were among the leaders who submitted the memo to officer Vineet Kapoor at the Police Headquarters.
Congress leader Mukesh Nayak stated, “We came to give a memorandum to the DGP regarding the brutality and cruelty that the Indore police had committed during the peaceful protest of Congress on August 6 in Indore. We demanded that the brutality with which the police had beaten our president Jitu Patwari is not acceptable in any way and it should be investigated. Congress’s agitations will continue till it is investigated.”
Former Union Minister Arun Yadav added, “During a protest in Indore on August 6 in which I and many senior leaders, including our state president Jitu Patwari were present, our workers were brutally attacked (Lathi Charge) by the police, which was not needed. In this regard, a memorandum was submitted to the DGP today. We demanded that the matter should be investigated and action should be taken against whoever is found responsible for it.”
On August 6, Congress leaders staged a protest in front of the Indore Municipal Corporation office regarding alleged scams. State Congress chief Jitu Patwari, former minister Sajjan Singh Verma, former Union Minister Arun Yadav, and other Congress leaders and party workers participated in the protest. When the Congress workers, along with state chief Patwari, were heading to submit a memorandum to the Divisional Commissioner’s Office, the police stopped them with barricades. Some party workers tried to climb over the barricades, and the police used water cannons to stop them.
