Raipur, December 24,

Alleging that the
police filed false criminal case against its party workers who had been to
Forest office to submit memorandum regarding tiger killing in Rajnandgaon
district, the Congress on Saturday said that the government was deliberately
harassing its partymen.
“There was no need to
take action against our workers when they had simply gone to express their
concern to the Forest department on the tiger killing incident,” said Congress
legislators Mohammad Akbar, Dharmjeet Singh, Kawasi Lakhma, Bodhram Kanwar,
Tamradhwaj Sahu, Ambika Markam and Ramdayal Uike jointly.
They said the
government on one side had failed to protect tigers in the state while on the
other it was targeting tribals for no reason. “When our party workers are
raising their voice in support of the innocent tribals, the government is using
police to terrorise them,” they said.
Terming police action
against its workers as ‘government’s terrorism’, the Congress warned of
resorting to aggressive agitation in future if its partymen would be target.
