In protest of naxal attack on Congress parivartan yatra 
 
Raipur, May 30, 2013

About 25 activists of Youth Indian National Trade Union Congress (YINTUC) were arrested by police at nalghar chowk on Thursday while they were going to gherao CM house in protest of recent naxal attack on Congress parivartan yatra.

Considering YINTUC’s CM house gherao plan, the police had made adequate arrangement to stop them at nalghar chowk by putting barricades. Before arrest, some of the YINTUC activists clashed with the cops when the latter did not allow them to cross the barricades.

Earlier, the YINTUC activists mustered at dharna spot near sports complex Budhapara and then proceeded towards CM house under   the leadership of their state president Aijaz Dhebar. Holding the government responsible for naxal attack on Congress leaders, they were sloganeering against it.

Apprehending that chief minister Raman Singh can affect the probe into May 25 incident, the YINTUC activists demanded his instant resignation.

They alleged that the government tempered evidences before national investigation agency’s (NIA) team reached Jiram valley in Darbha region where naxals had brutally killed the Congmen.

Pointing that a few months back the CM had announced of using brahmastra before polls, they asked whether he had used it by not providing adequate security to parivartan yatra and allowing the naxals to kill the Congress leaders or not. 

They also sought probe into BJP national president Rajnath Singh’s May 25 statement in which he had expressed his grief over killing of PCC president Nandkumar Patel and his son. They said Singh’s statement contradicted media’s information about Patel and his son’s abduction by Maoists after attack. 

They said the Congress had history of sacrificing lives and in doing so the party always got consolidated.
