Will Resign If Police Can Prove NSUI Activists Hurled Stones At Security Personnel: Odisha Cong Leader

Peeved over the police allegedly barging into the party office here and assaulting NSUI workers, senior Congress leader Taraprasad Bahinipati Sunday said he would resign as an MLA if the force could provide proof that activists of the students' wing had hurled stones at security personnel during an agitation. The Congress MLA was reacting to the charges levelled by the Twin City Police Commisioner S K Priyadarshi that activists of the grand old party hurled stones at the police on Friday. The NSUI had staged a demonstration along the city's Mahatma Gandhi Marg demanding the resignation of Minister of State for Home DS Mishra for his alleged links with the prime accused in the Kalahandi woman teacher's kidnap-murder case. Strongly condemning the police excess, Bahinipati said, Rather, police personnel hurled stones at our activists and the Congress Bhawan".
