Guwahati News Desk: The windshield of BJP MP Ram Chander Jangra’s car was smashed by some miscreants on Friday.
The incident took place after some miscreants allegedly threw lathis on the vehicle during a protest by farmers over his visit to Haryana’s Hisar district on Friday.
Protesting against the Centre’s three farm laws enacted last year, the farmers have been opposing programmes of leaders of Haryana’s ruling BJP and Jannayak Janta Party. Hence, the recent incident too was done by a group of protesters carrying black flags, who blocked Jangra’s route in Hisar’s Narnaund.
Reacting to the incident Jangra said, “After concluding my programme, I was on my way to attend another function when some miscreants threw lathis on my car, leaving it damaged. No one was hurt.”
He added, “I was going to attend two more programmes in Narwana and Uchana. As my car was damaged, I had to cancel the visits.”
He asked, “I was attending a social function. It was not a political function. Will they (farmers) oppose social functions too?”
Eventually, the road was cleared and the Rajya Sabha MP was able to proceed.
The MP said, “I spoke to Haryana DGP and the SP regarding this incident. I have demanded strict punishment as per law against the culprits. This is a clear murder attempt.”
According to police officials, so far two people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
