Bilaspur (HP), the state unit of the BJP organized a massive rally here on Saturday against the shooting of one of its activists outside a local court on Thursday.
A man allegedly involved in an attack on a former MLA was shot at a court premises in Bilaspur on Thursday.
Two people on a motorcycle opened fire on Saurabh Patyal, one of the 13 now facing trial for the alleged attack on Congress leader Bamber Thakur. The former MLA from Bilaspur assembly seat was allegedly attacked on February 23 this year.
Addressing the rally, BJP state president Rajeev Bindal criticized the Congress government for allegedly harboring gangsters, murderers and drug peddlers.
Bindal said law and order has gone out of control in all districts of the state, adding that so far more than 300 murders and more than 2,000 drug cases have come to light in Sirmaur, Solan, Kangra and Nalagarh.
The BJP leader said that bullets are being fired in a local court and public is feeling unsafe but the government led by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has not paid attention to it and in such circumstances this regime has no right to remain in the power.
"When the king of the State begins to protect the sinners, then the destruction of the State is certain," he said.
Former chief minister Jairam Thakur, addressing the rally, said the people of Devbhoomi Himachal had not even imagined that something like this would happen.
"We have heard similar incidents in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, but now we are witnessing similar incidents in Himachal too, which is unfortunate," he added.
Thakur said the BJP movement will not stop until a proper investigation is carried out and the accused is caught.
"The prime minister is asking for votes and bullets are being fired in Bilaspur, the accused has absconded and efforts are being made to hush up the matter," he said.
Thakur said that they are protesting peacefully here and on the other hand, the accused are holding a demonstration carrying the Congress flag.
"This clearly shows that the accused in the firing incident are being given protection. The name of Bamber Thakur and his son are directly linked to this incident but the administration is not doing anything," he added.
Thakur further said that this government has set new records in robberies and robberies.
"Our phones are under surveillance, each congressman has two security guards, a cantonment has been set up in front of the ministers' houses..." he added.
Former Union Minister Anurag Thakur alleged that the Congress used the power of money in the Lok Sabha elections but could not win.
"You will be surprised to know that our MLA from Bilaspur had already informed the administration about this incident, but the administration did nothing. The complicity of the administration is clearly visible in this incident," he added.
Meanwhile, Bamber Thakur also organized a rally against BJP MLA from Bilaspur Trilok Jamwal.
In his speech at the rally, he accused Jamwal and BJP leaders of hatching a conspiracy to kill him.
