JAMMU, Nov 10: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has demanded impartial enquiry in FIR registered against its DDC member at Police Station Gandoh.
Addressing a press conference, Om Parkash Khajuria, Convener AAP Jammu Province said, “”If you exercise your fundamental right to protest FIR lodged against you and if you differ with the policies and programmes of ruling dispensation, you are dubbed as anti-national”.
He was referring to an episode of Tehsil Chilly Pingal of District Doda, where a FIR has been registered against the lone AAP DDC member, DDC constituency Kahara-Jakyas of District Doda, who visited the Tehsildar office at Chilly Pingal along with hundreds of villagers to vent out some problems of people of his constituency and to his surprise he (DDC member) found the entire office locked at about 11:30 am and only a Class IV employee was found to open and close the office.
Flanked by Ram Singh Chauhan and Kuldeep Kumar Rao, Incharge Party Media men, the Convener said that when the Tehsildar arrived amid infuriated public, he not only misbehaved with the DDC member Mehraj Malik but threatened also of dire consequences and immediately got a FIR registered in the Police Station Gandoh on the plea of obstructing a Government employee from doing his work.
AAP leader demanded impartial enquiry into the matter at the hands of a divisional level officer immediately and transfer of the delinquent official so that fair inquiry is not hampered.
He also appealed to the Lieutenant Governor to look deep as it is not a normal matter.
