00:00This is the first time in the history of this district that there has been a blockade in Bhattaparashar police station.

00:05There are hundreds of Congress workers and all Congress officials present here.

00:11Also, the police station has been stopped from barricading.

00:16As you can see, 2-3 layers of barricading have been placed outside the police station.

00:22Congress people are sitting here.

00:25Yesterday, there was a dispute between BJP and Congress during the Lokarpar program at Nagar Palika.

00:33The former MLA of BJP, Shiv Ratan Sharma, is sitting here to file an FIR against him.

00:44We have with us MLA Inder Kumar Saoji.

00:48We would like to know why you had to sit outside the police station to file an FIR against him.

00:53No, no, no.

00:55Look, in the Bhattaparashar committee, the former MLA's goons are not hidden from anyone.

01:04Earlier, people used to listen to them.

01:07But yesterday, the video that was released, and I was also admitted to the hospital with my family during the disaster.

01:17After watching that video, I was forced to leave the hospital.

01:22And today, I have joined this protest.

01:26The incident that took place yesterday is going to affect our city very badly.

01:31Because the continuous violation of the protocol is not only happening in our district.

01:37In Bhattaparashar, it is a common thing that it is happening in the whole state.

01:40Our Congress officials are not being given any importance.

01:44Whereas, this has never happened in our administration.

01:46Everyone was given equal respect.

01:48The incident that took place yesterday is also related to the protocol.

01:52In Nagarpalka, none of our Congress officials were called.

01:56In a secret manner, the vehicle that was purchased was organized by the former MLA.

02:06Along with our Congress officials, our representative, Mr. Diwakar Mishra,

02:11the former MLA, Mr. Sushil Sarwa,

02:14along with 15-20 of our CMOs, we want to know

02:18why we, the Congress officials, were not called to take part in this protest.

02:22With these things in mind, the former MLA encouraged his officials.

02:30We want an FIR to be filed against these goons.

02:40But the police department is also intervening in this matter.

02:43We have been sitting in front of the police station for the past two hours.

02:47We will not file an FIR.

02:49We are sitting here.

02:51We want an FIR to be filed against all our Congress officials.

02:56We have with us the District Chief of Congress, Mr. Hiten Thakur.

03:00What do you think? Why didn't the police file an FIR?

03:04Look, we are sitting here in a peaceful protest.

03:07So many barricades, so many police officers are present here.

03:10And we are sitting here singing hymns.

03:12We have only one demand.

03:13The people who beat up our Congress officials yesterday,

03:16we want an FIR to be filed against them.

03:18It is a simple matter.

03:19Our question is simple.

03:20We are giving witnesses.

03:22We are also showing video footage.

03:23The police chief himself was present there.

03:25Despite that, till now,

03:27yesterday was the whole day.

03:29Today it is 4 o'clock.

03:30The FIR has not been filed yet.

03:32That is why all of us are sitting here watching the protest.

03:35And our peaceful demand is that we are sitting here.

03:38We are not using any kind of abusive language.

03:42And they are accusing us.

03:45The way their former MLA beat them up and abused them for years,

03:50they are using abusive language in their video footage.

03:54And we believe that those who did this,

03:56an FIR should be filed against them.

03:58And we have the right to demand justice.

04:00If someone is being beaten up,

04:02then an FIR is filed against them.

04:04But the police is watching as a spectator.

04:07And they are not taking any action yet.

04:10If the police does not file an FIR,

04:12then what will happen to the Congress?

04:14Look, we are sitting here in a protest.

04:16Our MLA, Inder Kumar Saoji is sitting here.

04:18And the Congress committee has been informed about this.

04:21And as per the instructions,

04:23we will proceed with the proceedings.

04:27We also have a representative of the MLA here.

04:30You were present at this place yesterday.

04:32Yes.

04:33What happened? Tell us a little.

04:35Yesterday, by the Chief Municipal Officer,

04:39the electric vehicles and JCBs that were purchased,

04:44the proposal was made by the Congress committee.

04:49The Chief Municipal Officer,

04:51Parshad and the MLA,

04:53were not invited.

04:55We wanted to know

04:57why you did not invite our MLA as per the protocol.

05:03Still, he forcibly,

05:05Mahashivratan Sarmaji,

05:07we protested peacefully

05:09and chanted the slogans of Long Live Congress Party.

05:11We were standing outside the Municipal Council.

05:13After that,

05:15Shivratan Sharma called his workers,

05:17Maro Salok, and made them run.

05:19And his workers,

05:21forcefully,

05:23pushed me down.

05:25After that,

05:27when we came to the police station to file a report,

05:29they took our complaint.

05:31But no FIR has been filed yet.

05:33Yesterday's incident

05:35and the video recording that came out,

05:37Shivratan Sharma's face

05:39has been exposed in front of the public.

05:41And today,

05:43the FIR that has not been filed yet,

05:45the government of Chhattisgarh

05:47and the attitude of the police department,

05:49is now coming in front of the public

05:51that the Congress workers

05:53and the common people

05:55are not safe in the BJP government.

05:57There is no hearing of them.

05:59The police of Chhattisgarh

06:01is working to cover up the hooliganism of BJP workers.

06:03How many people were injured

06:05in yesterday's incident?

06:07In yesterday's incident,

06:09I was beaten up a lot.

06:15Shivratan Sharma,

06:17Vaibhav Kusarwani,

06:19and Rajkumar Sharma,

06:21were pushed down.

06:23They were not seriously injured.

06:25But all of them were injured.

06:27There were a lot of people with us.

06:29It was like a life-threatening attack.

06:31If the police department was there

06:33and hadn't released us,

06:35it would have been very wrong.

06:37The BJP leader has started

06:39a wrong tradition.

06:41The senior leaders

06:43will have to think

06:45how they can be safe

06:47in the future.
