BJP/VHP goons assault Anhad and Aman Samudaya activists in Gandhinagar

Anhad and Aman Samudaya activists were brutally beaten up today by BJP/ VHP members at two different locations in Shastri Nagar, Naranpura (Gandhi Nagar Constituency) while they were doing a door to door campaign.

The activists were surrounded near Pallav 4 Rasta and in Arpit Restaurant in Shastri Nagar abused, women activists were pushed around. Sachin Pandya and Robin Soni were kicked, punched and beaten with sticks. Using extremely filthy language the hoodlums threatened the activists never to enter that area again or face dire consequences.

All this happened around 1:00 pm. A man on black activa having BJP sticker on it, came and asked them to stop campaigning in the area. He made several calls and soon sachin and robin were surrounded by around 20-25 hoodlums, who started beating them . Arpit restaurant where volunteers of Anhad & Aman Samuday were sitting to have lunch were also surrounded by BJP activists came on bikes and car (some of the nos. of cars and bikes are – GJ 1 FM 5547, GJ 1 DF 7347, GJ 1 EL 2080, GJ 1 6931, GJ 1 FM 2993). In the mean time a lady named Geeta and a man named Gautam, both BJP activist came in the fore front started abusing with fowl language. Rasheeda and Shivani Singh were pshed around and manhandled by the BJP hoodlums. They also ruffed up other activists.

The BJP goons took away all the campaign material.

We have complaint to the election commssion. We are in the process of filing a complaint with the Police Commissioner.

Anhad demands an immediate arrest of the hoodlums who attacked the activists.

This has happened in the 'PM in waiting' Advani's constituency. Is this going to happen all over India if he becomes the PM?
