The
Congress on Monday flayed Tourism and Culture Minister Brijmohan Agrawal for
paying courtesy visit to Ramvilas Vedanti at Durg and inviting him in Rajim
kumbh. The PCC president Nandkumar Patel said that the government should
clarify its intentions for extending friendly gestures to a criminal who is
absconding in police record.
Senior
Congress leader Ajit Jogi, on the other hand, sought explanation from the
government regarding the permission it lent to Vedanti to deliver discourses in
Durg despite knowing that police was searching him.
“Vedanti has spewed
venom against Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and
minority communities at Rajim kumbh. He should have been behind the bars at
present, but instead the government is honouring him like its guest and
inviting him in Rajim kumbh,” Jogi said.
“However, this time,
the Congress would not keep quiet and would make every attempt to prevent
Vedanti from entering Rajim,” Jogi announced.
The PCC’s chief
spokesperson Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said that it was unfortunate that the
ruling party’s own minister was trying to disturb law and order of the state by
inviting criminals like Vedanti.
He
said there were adequate evidences including video recording and eye witnesses
of Vedanti episode but the police was deliberately stalling the matter and
refraining from arresting him.
