Janshakti wants CM dismissed

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, APRIL. 18.

A delegation of the Lok Janshakti Party, headed by the former Union Minister and MP, Capt. J.N. Prasad Nishad, Mr. Ram Chander Paswan and Mr. Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, today met the Union Home Minister, Mr. L.K.Advani, and demanded the dismissal of the Sheila Dikshit Government and registration of criminal cases against her and the Tughlakabad MLA, Mr. Sishpal, for creating a law and order problem.

The delegation which also included the BJP Mehrauli District president, Mr. Ramesh Bidhuri and Lok Janshakti Party general secretaries, Mr. Satish Yadav and Mr. A.K. Vajpayee, urged Mr. Advani to direct the Delhi Police to register cases against Mr. Sishpal and his supporters against whom the security guard of Mr. Ramvir Singh Bidhuri had lodged a formal complaint.

The delegation alleged the supporters of Ms. Dikshit and Mr. Sishpal attacked the house of Mr. Ramvir Bidhuri and damaged his two cars and smashed the window panes of the house. It also demanded security for Mr. Bidhuri in wake of the threats being received by him from the Congress(I) MLA's supporters.

The delegation apprised Mr. Advani about the incidents of April 15 where the Chief Minister, Ms. Sheila Dikshit, arrived without being invited and her supporters indulged in violence. The delegation pointed out that a case should be registered against the Chief Minister and her MLA for provoking the people and inciting violence in the area. The delegation presented a memorandum detailing all the incidents, including several cases of land grab by Mr. Sishpal in and around Tughlakabad.

Mr. Advani gave a patient hearing and assured them that he would look into the points raised and also study the memorandum submitted. The delegation remained with Mr. Advani for more than 30 minutes.
