Man who slapped Pawar under attack

[Shaurya]

Great UPA's great jokers

NEW DELHI: Ever since he publicly slapped former telecom minister Sukhram and Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar in November last year, Harvinder Singh has been fair game for goons who threaten, abduct and thrash him at will for his "social work" .

Only three days ago, the 26-year-old was abducted near Rithala Metro station in a car, thrashed and dumped outside a hospital in Rohini.

After two months of harassment and beatings - Singh got bail mid-December - police registered a case on Tuesday after TOI took up the issue.

The attacks began on January 15, Singh told TOI at a secret location in northwest Delhi . "On that night, I was attacked by five to six people near my house. The men beat me with hockey sticks and metal rods. I sustained severe injuries and was admitted to hospital," he said. "I went to the senior district officers with a copy of the medical certificate but nobody paid attention."

After being attacked by five people on January 15, Singh was visited by another group of men in February. "Around four people came to my house at 11.30pm and started hurling abuses. My family got scared and did not open the door. We approached police the next day, but no action was taken," said Singh. He lives with his parents and a brother.

On February 25, Singh was abducted in a car near Rithala Metro station. "The men blindfolded me and took me somewhere in Rajauri Garden. They thrashed me and threatened to hand me over to the police by planting a gun on me.

Later they dumped me at Ambedkar Hospital in Rohini and fled. I again sought police help but to no avail," he said. The trouble worsened, Singh claimed, with the local councillor elections nearing, as party workers asked him to join them or face retaliation.

Singh pointed to a photo of Bhagat Singh in his transport company office and said he wasn't deterred, not after jail and a stint at a mental hospital . Nor does he regret his actions . "I am not scared. I follow him and I will not be afraid of consequences. If these attackers think they will be able to suppress my voice, they are mistaken," he said.

Till last reports, police were in the process of registering a case after recording Singh's statement. Cops assured that steps would be taken to ensure he wasn't harmed in the future.

Man, this guy is a hero in so many ways, his will to go on is just incredible. It is shocking that political party thugs do such things though, hopefully the police are true to their word.

khaangraasi troll !!

instead of name calling , why not try to refute my statement?

by the way do read up a bit . pawar is a NCP chief not congress.

 

[ptltejas]

Pawar told that " I m not God who pardon him" He decided tp prove that.

Pawar is a Goonda and probably the most corrupt and richest Indian politician and he is said to have links with Dawood Ibrahim and said to be investing Dawood's money into Indian market.
I don't think the media is properly highlighting the plight of this poor man who slapped Sharad Pawar and now is being threatened by Sharad Pawar's goons.

come on guys do you really want to glorify someone who propagates violence? today its a slap, tomorrow a bullet . do we want that kind of a society? if we allow an inch then a yard must follow.

while i agree pawar is corrupt(i am a congress supporter though) but i do not mind calling a spade a spade. this is not what we want our society to become . come out and vote these guys out . no need to resort to violence.
but most people who criticize the politicians have little time for voting . they criticize cuz its fashionable . vote then say all you want .

I accept that, its not the wild wild west where you clean up the streats with a Gun though the time needs it.

I support that guy. DON;T BLAME HIM. The problem is that you guys have grown accustomed to corruption that;s why it does not bother you at all. Most of India's politicans have been playing games with the ppl since independence.....wake up. You complain of glorifying the young chap and how we should vote Pawar out.....yet make no mention.... of the fact of armed goondas attacking him numerous times....how the police fail to protect him and where the f-k is the media. Yeah, so go on complaining about a chappal slap and then dwell on stuff that could or could not happen. The reality is that he has already been attacked worse than a mere chappal slap, yet there is no action! Of course, voting is the key but with a bunch of dumb and poor voters who are intentionally kept in such state, how will voting make a bloody difference.

The only way to solve the issue is for the Maoists to start picking off one by one these crooked SOBs and then they will win public support

Pawar is corrupt, everyone knows about it. But we just can't glorify someone who openly supports revenge against him by means of violence. If you do I don see any difference between you and the people who hang their leaders just because they don't do what you want, I am sure you know where

Then what..the only option is endure this BS corrutpion for another 50 yrs....sorry ....the only folks who such things are those what have accesss to the middle class and rich class. Unfortunately, the poor represent the bulk of India's population..... and they are fed up.....they are also very vunerable to such ideals and when they get pushed to the wall, civil war will erupt..

Adding the word "nationalist" doesn't change the whole thought process. If this is what is nationalists, I fear to think what "liberalist" would mean in his dictionary. Such mutts are better off being assassinated than kept alive.

I agree with your statement that other side will resort to violence, which has to be countered with removal of that political party through even more violence by common public like a united body. Make sure that none of their party workers live in peace until they either exile from politics or become extinct in it.

People have to come together against these scum. Until then, we can only sit and watch our country getting swindled.

i agree with you on the point we have to come together to get rid of these guys . but when we have a vote , why raise the hand. ??
it just leads to a cycle of violence which benefits no one.
