New Delhi: Hindu Rakshak Dal leader Pinky Choudhary has been detained for the attack on Aam Aadmi Party office in Kaushambi. An FIR has been registered under Section 506, 436, 426, 504, 354, 153, 154 against the members of the outfit.
At least 30 to 40 people vandalised the AAP office on Wednesday, but no one was injured. The Hindu Raksha Dal said the attack was prompted by the comments made by AAP leader Prashant Bhushan on holding a referendum in Kashmir.
Hindu Rakshak Dal activist Vishnu Gupta saying that Bhushan was a "traitor" and his comments on withdrawal of the Army from Jammu and Kashmir were "anti-national". "If such people are allowed to go scot-free for making such anti-national comments then our country will disintegrate. Withdrawing Army from Kashmir means giving it away to Pakistan," Gupta said.
Prashant Bhushan, who is under fire for his remark on Kashmir remark, has blamed outfits affiliated by the Bharatiya Janata Party for the attack on AAP office on Wednesday. Bhushan said, "These are the same people who attacked me previously too. Vishnu Gupta is one of them while Tejinder Singh Bagga works for the BJP."
"It shows that BJP and RSS are frustrated by the emergence of AAP. It shows their character, that they are doing such activities. They have opened up lumpen organisations. This shows that these are communal violent people. They have opened up organisations which are meant for violence and hatred only," he added.
The Aam Aadmi Party had on Monday distanced itself from the views of Prashant Bhushan that a referendum should be carried out in Kashmir to decide on deployment of the army to deal with security threats in the Valley.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said it is Bhushan's personal views and the decisions on internal security are taken based on the law and order situation and there cannot be a referendum on army's deployment in Kashmir.
This is not the first time that Prashant Bhushan has faced fire over his remarks on Kashmir. Prashant Bhushan was beaten up by three people inside his chamber in the Supreme Court in October 2011 because of his comments on the removal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act from the Kashmir Valley.
