“BJP-RSS Member Assaulted by Kanwariyas in Haridwar: Pratap Singh’s Account”

In a recent incident in Haridwar, a man named Pratap Singh, who claims to be a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), was assaulted by a group of Kanwariyas. The incident occurred when Singh’s car accidentally hit a kanwar, which led to the Kanwariyas vandalizing his car and assaulting him.

Singh, in his statement, mentioned that he was trying to help a burqa-clad woman drop her son at a madrasa. It was during their return journey that the car accidentally hit the kanwar, leading to a mob gathering and targeting Singh. He believes that the assaulters mistook him for a Muslim due to his appearance, which included a black cap and a beard.

The incident has sparked outrage and raised concerns about religious intolerance. The police have registered an FIR and arrested two people in connection with the incident. Additionally, another FIR has been lodged against those allegedly trying to spread fake information and causing communal tension.

In a video statement, SSP Ajai Singh confirmed the incident and mentioned that the altercation occurred after Singh accidentally hit a kanwar and the Kanwariyas vandalized his car.

SSP Singh also addressed the issue of communal comments and highlighted that there is no religious angle to the incident. He emphasized the importance of maintaining harmony and urged people to refrain from spreading misinformation.

This incident highlights the need for tolerance and understanding among different communities. It is essential for society to condemn acts of violence and promote peaceful coexistence regardless of religious affiliations. The authorities must ensure that the culprits are brought to justice and that such incidents are not repeated in the future..
