State BJP president Deepak Prakash on Monday targeted the State Government on violence in Chaibasa over a separate Kolhan nation. The BJP chief said that ever since the JMM/Congress government came to power such incidents have gone up in the State.
On Monday, West Singhbhum district administration carried out a flag march in district headquarters Chaibasa and adjoining Chaibasa Muffasil thana area after witnessing an ugly scene between the police and a section of local villagers over an attempt of setting up a separate Kolhan estate.
In a violent act by about 200 agitated separate Kolhan estate protagonists at Chaibasa Muffasil thana, seven police men, including Muffasil thana OC were injured. About a dozen attackers have also sustained injuries in the retaliatory step by the police.
One of the injured constables, Brijmohan Mishra, who has sustained arrow injury has been admitted to Tata Main Hospital.
The trouble cropped up when the police prevented a process of recruiting police personnel and teachers for the alleged separate Kolhan estate. The recruitment drive was going on the premises of a school at Ladurabasa village under the Muffasil thana area on Sunday.
The BJP chief said that the JMM/Congress government after coming to power took the decision to withdraw the cases related to anti-nationals in the first cabinet meeting. The decision had strengthened the anti-national elements. He said that the present government did the work of giving a clear message to the anti-nationals that the State Government was with the anti-nationals.
He said such elements' courage has increased to such a level that they start attacking local police and police stations in Chaibasa. He said that the Hemant government has raised questions on the investigation of the NIA in the Stan Swamy case accused of supporting terrorists. After death, Stan Swamy, who supported terror, was given martyr status. He said that it is clear that the intention of the government is to carry forward such anti-national activities which are dangerous for democracy. Prakash said that it seems that the entire administrative system has gone out of the hands of the government.
He said that those demanding a separate country are openly distributing appointment letters and the police are getting the news at the last moment. It means that the government's intelligence system is asleep or the government is promoting such elements.
