Swami Agnivesh assaulted outside the BJP headquarters


New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS): Social activist Swami Agnivesh was on Friday roughed up outside the BJP headquarters here when he came to pay his respects to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, whose body was lying in state for people to pay homage.

Soon after Agnivesh arrived at the venue on Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, some people raised slogans asking him to go back.

News channels showed footage of the former Janata Party MP, who was seen running and chased by people, believed to be Bharatiya Janata Party workers.

The Delhi Police then took Agnivesh in a van and moved him to safety.

Agnivesh was recently attacked in Jharkhand's Pakur district in Jharkhand when he was on way to attend a public function in a village.

Suspected BJP youth wing and ABVP workers had allegedly attacked him accusing him of being hand in glove with Christian missionaries for "instigating" tribals to convert religion.

    where is police force? If they can’t take any action against goondaism, they should wear bangles. BJP ruled states are becoming home for goondas.

    When he was attacked in Uttarakand, BJP denied! Now it's very clear who is doing all this!. This is very shameful and that too at the funeral of Such a great statesman!. BJP is devoid of any principles!. If BJP can do this openly, then all disturbances in the country are because of them!. If anybody supports this, then they are anti nationals and against the spirit of this country!

    They don't spare even their own people. Thus is the real face of BJP and RSS. All accused must be brought under Law of land after unbiased enquiry must be conducted so that justice must prevail..

    The only thing that I can see is hatred and promotion of hatred. Nothing can be achieved by this and we will only go down because of this. God says love one another. But here from the Bhakths we only see hatred .

    Don't expect any good deeds from blind bhakths…. even during the tragic moments, they keep their negative attitude upfront !
