NEW
DELHI, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken today strongly condemned the attack
on Congress candidate for the MCD bye-election from Matiala Ward No 136 Sudha
Sinha and sought immediate action against the culprits. According to an FIR
registered at the Bindapur Police Station in South West Delhi following a complaint filed by Sudha Singh, four persons in two motor cycles
followed her when she was travelling from Dwarka to Nanhe Park for a public
meeting, and stopped her Scorpio vehicle near Malhotra Tyre factory and tried
to attack her. They also threatened her with dire consequences if she did not
pull out of the election fray. She has
sought police protection following threats to her life.
Maken said the culprits should be brought to
book forthwith and punished for attacking and abusing the Congress candidate.
He said in a democracy elections should be fought on issues, instead of
threatening and coercing the rival candidate. He said the candidates of other
parties were feeling apprehensive at the overwhelming support of the people for
the Congress candidate. He said the Congress party was fighting the MCD
bye-elections on issues affecting the people, and not by making personal
allegations at rival candidates as the Congress party believed in democratic
fights, and not in creating personal conflicts.
Maken said the attack on Sudha Sinha has proved that women are not safe
in Delhi, even if she is a political
figure, which shows the complete break down of law and order under the
dispensation of the AAP and the BJP. Maken demanded that those who attacked Sudha Sinha should be brought to book
immediately.
