Congress Makes Demolition of Party Office a matter of Honour
Bodhgaya, 5 May. Congress Party Officials strongly criticised the demolition
of the Congress Block Office by the area officer and Police Station
in-charge. The Congress warned that it would start a campaign against
both the officers responsible. Tomorrow there will be a demonstration
and picket at the Bodhgaya [administration] office.
Under the chairmanship of the District Congress Committee Head Ram Uday
Prasad an emergency meeting was held today. In it a unanimous motion
censuring the demolition of the office was passed. Anger was expressed
that up until now no action had been taken against the officers responsible
for the demolition. There was also a meeting held under the leadership
of the District Women's Congress leader Chandana Mukherji. In which
the incident was strongly criticised. Mrs Mukherji called for the arrest
and prosecution of the District Officer Ravi Bushan Prasad and the Police
Station in-charge Suman Kumar.
[the article then repeats this set of criticisms made at a another meeting
of the Bodhgaya local office and then lists about a paragraph of names
of those who took part in the meetings.]
