Meanwhile, the State unit of BJP condemned the incident in strongest term. The party appealed to the administration to take stringent action against the criminal elements and give exemplary punishment under the relevant provisions of the law.

“In a civilised society, there is no room for such elements and the authority should not let few criminals usurp the peace and tranquillity of the society. The rule of law much prevails and any breach of law and order should be dealt with iron hands,” party’s media secretary Nalong Mize said in a statement.

The party also appealed to its detractors that any amount of barbaric activities against the BJP and its karyakartas would not dent the popularity of the party in the State.

“In the recent, election people have reposed their faith in BJP and its karyakartas by giving it the mandate to rule the State. Hence, BJP advises its detractors to desist from cheap and clinched tactics against the party or its karyakartas as it is not going to change the goodwill of people for the party,” Mize said.
