Jammu, Dec 26: BJP leader and MLA Kalakote Thakur Randhir Singh and his supporters on Thursday stormed into the venue of function where Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary was to lay the foundation stone of a project. Police, however, dispersed the protestors who tried to heckle the deputy chief minister, officials said.
As per details, BJP MLA Kalakote Thakur Randhir Singh and his supporters tried to enter the venue of the official function which was presided by Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary. Creating ruckus there, Randhir Singh alleged that the government did not invite him, and as a local representative it’s his right to be part of the official event.
“Deputy chief minister doesn’t know the protocol. He can’t ignore a local MLA for the inauguration of a project. This is a clear breach of privilege and when we came here to raise this concern and remind him about the protocol, security personnel attacked me and my supporters,” he alleged.
Deputy Chief Minister, however, said that it was unfortunate that some people do politics over such issues. “A bridge is being constructed in Buddhal constituency but due to space constraints there, the function was organised in Kalakote, and MLA Buddal, Javid Iqbal Choudhary, was already present at the event,” he said.
