How did BJP leader Vijay Singh die if not in lathicharge? Revealed from the post mortem report
BJP MLA-Legislative Councilors submitted memorandum to the Governor
On the other hand, the NDA has demanded an inquiry into the lathi charge case on BJP’s assembly march on Thursday either by the sitting judge of the Patna High Court or by the CBI. On Friday, all the BJP MLAs in the NDA – Legislative Councilor, former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and RLJP state president Prince Raj met Bihar Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and submitted a memorandum to this effect.
District administration accused of covering up the case
The delegation that reached the Governor was led by Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly Vijay Kumar Sinha and Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council cum BJP State President Samrat Chaudhary. In the memorandum, the NDA leaders have said that instead of fixing the responsibility for the barbaric lathi charge by the police and the murder of Vijay Kumar Singh, the state government and the district administration are trying to cover up the murder. That’s why fair investigation is necessary.
Sudden lathicharge on a peaceful procession
The delegation told that BJP MPs, MLAs, Legislative Councilors and Leader of the Opposition were marching peacefully along with thousands of workers in the Bihar Vidhansabha march that left Gandhi Maidan. Before reaching Dak Bungalow Square, the police suddenly started lathi-charging the peaceful procession. As a result, hundreds of workers, MPs and MLAs got serious injuries and they are admitted in various hospitals in Patna. In this sequence, BJP’s Jehanabad District General Secretary Vijay Kumar Singh also died.
Action on the behest of CM and Deputy CM: NDA
NDA leaders have said that the Chief Minister is also the Home Minister of Bihar, while the Deputy Chief Minister is chargesheeted, and the march was organized to remove him. Brutal action was taken by the police and administration on the behest of these two, which is very disappointing and sad for a healthy democracy. Vivek Thakur, Dilip Kumar Jaiswal, Janak Singh, Renu Devi, Sanjay Saraogi, Shahnawaz Hussain, Janak Ram etc. were included in the delegation.
