State BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo today alleged that Congress and other opposition parties are politicising the Seraikela incident. He said that there is a policy of zero tolerance against such incidents in Raghubar government. As soon as the incident was brought to notice of the government two policemen were suspended, 11 persons have been arrested and an SIT is investigating the case. More people will be identified and arrested through video, he said.
Shahdeo further said that in 1984 riots 3,000 Sikh people were killed in Delhi only. “In 40 cities of the country over 10,000 people of Sikh community were killed. No incident of mob lynching could be bigger than this in the history of independent India. At that time the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had said that when a gig tree falls earthquake is bound to happen,” he said.
The BJP Spokesperson further said that the Raghubar government does not differentiate between people on the basis of caste and community. “All are given fruits of development and the guilty is not forgiven. The opposition party governments should also take lessons from the same, especially in West Bengal where people are killed and thrashed for chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’,” he added.
Shahdeo warned the opposition and forbade them against politicising the issue. He said that in case of Ramgarh incident the government had taken fast action and the culprits were punished in record time. This shows the Government’s zero tolerance towards such incidents, he added.
