The Lok Satta Party has termed the attack on its national president, Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, by Telangana lawyers, in Delhi, earlier in the day, as being barbaric.
In a media statement, the state Lok Satta party president Katari Srinivasa Rao announced it deplorable that the lawyers, instead of exposing those who had triggered, nurtured and nourished the crisis in the state, chose to attack Dr. JP who had unveiled a comprehensive, amicable and practical solution that takes care of the interests of all regions of the State.
He demanded that action be taken against the lawyers who took law into their own hands and acted like rowdies.
Srinivasa Rao pointed out that even the people of Telangana people would not condone the attack on Dr. JP, who has been appreciated by almost all political parties for his constructive suggestions. "Telangana has become a festering sore for many years because of such undemocratic and wayward acts by a few people", opined Srinivasa Rao.
Lok Satta Party workers also conducted a demonstration at Dr.Ambedkar statue on Tank Bund to protest against the attack on Dr. JP.
Urging all democratic forces to condemn the attack on Dr. JP, Srinivasa Rao called upon party workers to conduct demonstrations at Ambedkar statues all over the State on Wednesday. (INN)
