Citizens of Nallasopara, Pragati Nagar terrorized and 
beaten up by local Police

A group of citizens residing in Pragati Nagar, Nallasopara had to face the wrath of the local police for staging a protest against the loss of electricity in their area which had not been restored for 3 days. After having subject to extreme discomfort, the citizens resorted to stage a peaceful protest and draw the attention of the concerned officers. In no time, 15 to 20 cops rushed to the venue and started lathi-charging the residents without any cause or provocation.  The brutal onslaught by the police was carried out atleast three times within a span of 15-20 minutes showing no concern for the life and limb of the residents. Among the injured was a senior citizen age 75 years, Shri Gurmukh Singh who was treated like a serious criminal and beaten inhumanely, leaving his hand swollen till date.

As the aggression from the police continued, the hapless citizens started pelting stones in an act of self defence. Disgruntled by the retaliation from the residents, cops fired rounds in the air and later barged into their homes and attacked them again. Around 48 people were arrested by police without any evidence and have been kept in custody without bail by illegally applying Section 307 IPC on them.  The sections and charges applied on the accused are unfounded and Police and have no evidence to prove the same. The police lack the intent to investigate the matter and have kept the innocent people in custody. Also, the imposition of section 307 IPC was done to deprive them of bail.

AAP demands the Home Minster, Shri R.R. Patil to act on the matter and suspend the cops for beating and harassing the residents of Pragati Nagar and unlawfully arresting and imposing Section 307 IPC.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
