Politics on Palampur stabbing incident shows BJP’s narrow mindedness: Bhawani
Hindustan TimesFatehpur MLA and deputy chairman of Himachal Pradesh State Planning Board Bhawani Singh Pathania said that the incident that happened in Palampur is sad, but BJP doing politics on this incident shows their narrow mindset. Pathania said that BJP should also look at its track record and during the tenure of the previous BJP government, the rate of crimes against women was highest. “During the tenure of Jai Ram Thakur-led BJP government, 1,755 cases of rape of women were registered, while 1,648 cases of kidnapping were registered and 130 cases of murder were registered. Such a big crime against the youth is not possible without political protection and the previous BJP government provided political protection to those selling the interests of the youth,” he said.
