The Rajput community called for a State
wide bandh over the murder of Karni Sena Chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi on
Wednesday.
Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena chief
Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi was shot dead in Jaipur by unidentified bike-borne
criminals on Tuesday.
Calling out for immediate action in the
case, Bhawani Singh Kalvi, son of Karni Sena founder Lokendra Singh Kalvi, said
the crowd will keep on increasing unless there is a positive result in nabbing
those responsible.
Urging all party leaders to stand in
solidarity, Kalvi said the incident is above political parties and each one of
us is expecting the government to take swift action in the case.
Slamming the Rajasthan Government over
the incident, protester Kalyan Singh Jadhav said “The incident is very
unfortunate and it is a tight slap on the Rajasthan Government. We will
continue the protest unless we get justice and the culprits are punished.”
Meanwhile, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla
shared a video of Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi and claimed that the security of the
victim was reduced by the Gehlot Government.
“Congress has a caretaker government in
place right now. The BJP Government is not in office. Also security of the said
victim was reduced by Gehlot,” Poonawalla claimed in a post on X.
Taking potshots on the outgoing Ashok
Gehlot Government in Rajasthan over the murder of Karni Sena Chief, BJP leader
Diya Kumari said it is a complete intelligence failure.
“…He was murdered yesterday. The
entire State of Rajasthan is stunned and sad…This was avoidable. There is the
Congress Government in Rajasthan. He was continuously receiving threats and he
had sought enhanced security but it wasn’t done. This was the responsibility of
the State Government but we know their attitude. Law & order is zero in
Rajasthan.
What has happened is wrong…The matter
should be taken up in fast track court and they should be given the strictest
of punishments…This was planned, it didn’t happen overnight…Was the State
Government sleeping? Didn’t they know about it? This means that this is a
complete intelligence & law and order failure”, BJP leader Diya Kumari
said.
On the other hand, Congress leader
Pramod Tiwari blamed the newly elected BJP Government over the murder of
Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi.
“I strongly condemn the incident but if
this is the beginning of BJP then what will happen next?” Congress’ Pramod
Tiwari said.
However, Rajasthan DGP Umesh Mishra
informed that raids are being conducted at the possible hideouts of the
miscreants. “Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi and one of his bodyguards were shot.
An accused accompanying the killers was
also shot, who has died. Raids are being conducted at the possible hideouts of
the miscreants…We spoke to the Haryana DG and assistance has been sought.
Rohit Godara gang has taken responsibility for the murder, they will be
arrested soon,” said Rajasthan DGP.
