The politics of the state has heated up over the misbehavior with a journalist in the Chhattisgarh Assembly. BJP and Congress are attacking each other. There are a lot of allegations and counter-allegations. Now BJP state president Kiran Singhdev has also jumped into this matter. He said that former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Congress MLAs pushed and misbehaved with the journalist in the Assembly premises. The hooliganism of Congress in the temple of democracy is shameful. The Congressmen, who are beating the drums across the country in the name of democracy and the Constitution, are strangulating democracy by openly mocking the freedom of expression given by the Constitution.
The BJP state president alleged that by misbehaving with a journalist in the Assembly on Friday, he has not only shown his tainted political character but has also confirmed the notion that Congress is now showing its completely violent face. On one hand, in the presence of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, elderly MPs are being pushed and their heads are being broken. On the other hand, Congress’ Sarangarh MLA North Jangade has openly called upon the Congress leaders to enter the collectorate and carry out vandalism like Balodabazar. Now when a journalist asked a question in Chhattisgarh Assembly, first former Chief Minister Baghel showed him fingers and then Congress MLAs surrounded him and pushed him.
The journalist was threatened and told to stay within his limits. He was misbehaved, his mike and camera were snatched away. Such a scene is extremely shameful for any civilized society dedicated to democratic values. Congress is only doing violence: Dev: He said that overall Congress is only doing violence. Such a scene was never seen before in Chhattisgarh and especially in the Assembly premises when an attempt was made to surround a journalist and make him kneel, the journalist’s mike was pulled, the camera was snatched away and the journalist was asked to remain within his limits. This kind of behavior with the fourth pillar of democracy is condemnable. The act done by Congress in the state assembly on Friday. This is absolutely unforgivable.
‘Former CM Baghel told a big lie’
BJP state media in-charge Amit Chimnani has asked Congress that what happened that Congress had to lie in the assembly? Why did the former Chief Minister, who led as Chief Minister for five years, have to tell such a big lie there? The journalist who was pushed and threatened by Congress people. Bhupesh Baghel called him a fake journalist and said that he had entered in the guise of a journalist, this is a case of security lapse, whereas journalist Sunil Namdev not only had the entry pass for the assembly session held from 16 to 20 December 2024, but he He is also a member of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly Journalist Gallery Advisory Committee, in which only a few selected journalists from the state are members.
‘An act that hurts people’s trust’
Amit said why did the former Chief Minister, who led the Assembly for five years, not hesitate in lying? This act of the former Chief Minister is an act that hurts the trust of the people in the Assembly. The public considers what is said in the Assembly to be completely true and respects the Assembly a lot. In such a situation, lying in the Assembly and misleading the public by a former Chief Minister is not only condemnable but also unconstitutional. Congress leaders are tearing down the same Constitution and roaming around with it.
