Pro-Modi Supporter Assaulted During Opposition Protest in Delhi

In a dramatic turn of events during an opposition protest in New Delhi, a man was assaulted for chanting pro-Modi slogans. This incident took place on the third day of the protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who is accused of irregularities in the electoral rolls revision. The protest was marked by a significant presence of anti-government demonstrators, creating a tense atmosphere.

The man, amidst the crowd of protesters, voiced his support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which led to immediate backlash. Video footage captured the moment he was surrounded by a group of protesters who began to physically assault him, pushing him around and striking him repeatedly. This incident has drawn widespread attention, particularly due to the presence of news cameras at the scene.

In response to the assault, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari criticized Congress, accusing them of attacking a citizen expressing his views. He shared a video of the incident on social media, stating, "Shame on Congress workers!" He further emphasized that the conflict was between those who wish to preserve democracy and what he termed the "Anarchist Congress."

The Delhi Police have taken action by registering three FIRs related to the protest, which include charges of assaulting police personnel and obstructing government work. Notably, the names of prominent Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have been mentioned in the FIR details, indicating the seriousness of the situation and the ongoing tensions between political factions.

Looking ahead, the political climate in Delhi remains charged as the opposition continues its protests. The police are expected to investigate further, and additional FIRs may be filed as more details emerge. The incident raises questions about political discourse and safety during public demonstrations in India.
