Ashutosh demands action against police who took part in raid
Continuing its fervent pitch against the city police’s action, the Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday demanded sacking of Delhi police commissioner B.S. Bassi alleging that he misguided people on the police entering Kerala House to investigate a complaint about beef being served in its canteen.
“It was an illegal raid and then the Delhi police commissioner has the cheek to misguide people and to cite a law which is not relevant. The Delhi police commissioner, who misguided the nation and media, has no business to continue in his post; either he should resign or he should be sacked,” AAP leader Ashutosh said at Kerala House.
AAP leaders Ashutosh, Somnath Bharti, in-charge of the Kerala unit of the party, and Raghav Chadha visited Kerala House and addressed a press conference outside its premises. Asked about the Delhi government’s role in verifying whether beef was served at Kerala House, Ashutosh said, “The Delhi government will act when there will be information that something illegal is taking place. We believe nothing illegal or unlawful is taking place here.”
“What is illegal is cow meat. To spread a rumour and to say that beef is cow meat is a part of the grand design by the BJP government and its ideological friends and the Aam Aadmi Party very strongly condemns it,” he said. Emphasising that the people are “deeply anguished” over the police entering Kerala House, he also demanded action against the cops who took part in the “criminal trespass” and arrest of the person who approached the police claiming beef was being served in its canteen.
Party leader Raghav Chadha said “The Delhi Agricultural Cattle Preservation Act says in such matters the competent authority to investigate, search premises or seize is that of the animal husbandry director of the Delhi government’s health department.”
