Shimla: The BJP and the Congress are engaged in a war of words on the social networking sites following attack on Sanjay Parmar, BJP councilor from Kachighati at Shogi in the outskirts of the state capital by some miscreants on July 3.

Tweets, re-tweets and writing on Facebook and sharing of comments by both the BJP and the Congress backed people has become the order of the day. Unconcerned about the investigations, people are giving their verdict.

While the BJP councilors have termed July 3 as a black day in the history of Shimla and said that the incident was not reflective of the democratic India holding the Youth Congress activists responsible for attack, the Congressmen said that scared of state Youth Congress president Vikramaditya Singh’s Vikas Prachar Yatra, the BJP is making baseless allegations to tarnish the image of the Youth Congress workers.

The BJP maintained that the incident is a glaring example of mafia raj and lawlessness prevailing in the state as the government is shielding goons and called upon the citizens to stand up and fight against these anti-social elements.

The Congress loyalists stated that Parmar had beaten Congress activist Jitender Kumar after the Shimla Municipal Corporation results were declared and said an FIR had been registered even before the attack on Parmar. Congress workers even justified the attack and said that a traitor should be treated this way only.

Four persons were arrested in the case after the BJP took to roads in protest. When a councilor of the ruling MC is not safe what could be the plight of a common man, asked an elderly citizen.

Parmar, who had contested elections as a Congress-supported candidate, joined the BJP ahead of the elections of Mayor and Deputy Mayor.The BJP and the Congress are engaged in a war of words on the social networking sites following attack on Sanjay Parmar, BJP councilor from Kachighati at Shogi in the outskirts of the state capital by some miscreants on July 3.
