With people voicing their opinion over a group of goons, allegedly belonging to the Karni Sena, vandalising a school bus full of children, it was only time before the argument became political.
With people voicing their opinion over a group of goons, allegedly belonging to the Karni Sena, vandalising a school bus full of children, it was only time before the argument became political.
A Twitter user going by the name @AccheDin shared a picture of the bus and began criticisng Prime Minster Narendra Modi and BJP President for not doing enough. The user also evoked the 2002 riots in Gujarat and attacked PM Modi, who was then the CM of Gujarat for alleged inaction. The user’s tweet comes a few hours after Congress President Rahul Gandhi blamed the BJP for the violence over the movie row.
While most people took this to be the work of a troll, someone from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change’s official Twitter account responded – probably unintentionally from the account’s official Twitter handle instead of theirs – criticising the Congress.
Earlier, 18 people were arrested on Thursday for their alleged role in damaging a schoobus full of students in Gurugram on a day earlier.
On Wednesday, 20-25 students of a leading Gurgaon school had a narrow escape when a frenzied mob protesting the release of Bollywood film 'Padmaavat' attacked their bus. The attackers threw stones at the school bus, smashing its windows.
However, the police said that nobody was injured. A video of the incident went viral on social media just minutes after the incident on Wednesday showing terrified students ducking and crying in fear.
The G D Goenka World School students were on their way home when a group of around 60 protesters, believed to be members of a fringe group, attacked the bus with bamboo sticks asking the driver to stop the vehicle.
When the driver did not comply, the miscreants pelted the vehicle with stones apparently to hurt the children.
The school bus staffer asked the kids to crawl under seats for safety and directed the driver to not stop it, Ravinder Kumar, PRO, Gurgaon Police told PTI.
