In the backdrop of series of attacks in Patiala House court premises, the Congress on Wednesday alleged “jungle raj “ is prevailing in Delhi and demanded immediate removal of Police Commissioner B S Bassi who has raised many a controversy in the wake of the JNU row.
“Delhi Police has become subserviant to the goondas of BJP. Commissioner of Police B S Bassi should be immediately suspended and removed from the post “, former Union Minister and party spokesman Ajay Maken said. He said it is a matter of distress to learn that “Bassi is doing this to show his loyalty to the political masters to land a key post-retirement job.
The Congress leader said that speculation is that Bassi wants to become Information Commissioner after his retirement which is due soon. “No post-retirement placement should be given to this Police Commissioner “, he said.
He claimed that the violence witnessed in Patiala House Court clearly indicates that Delhi Police has been “taken over by “goondas “ of BJP. “ “Unfortunately, when on the Supreme Court’s orders, senior advocates who were in Patiala House court, they were also heckled by miscreants and police remained mute spectators. Delhi Police is hand in gloves with these miscreants and goondas of BJP “, he said.
Another party spokesman R P N Singh said what was being witnessed in Delhi in the last few days was “jungle raj “. He alleged that it seems that the government of India is being run by “goons of ABVP. “ “lawlessness, goondaism and fear have become synonymous with the Modi model of governance “, Singh charged. Both Maken and Singh served as MoS Home in Manmohan Singh regime.
Congress’ chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala tweeted “CP Bassi is insensitive and inert to violence and lawlessness! Wonder if it’s a ploy for post-retirement Information Commissioner’s jobIJ “
