BJP protests in UP against abuses hurled at Daya Shankar’s wife, daughter
Lucknow : The BJP on Saturday is holding demonstrations across Uttar Pradesh against the abuses hurled by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) workers at the wife and the minor daughter of Daya Shankar Singh, the expelled state BJP vice president.
All district units of the party have been asked to stage demonstrations under the banner of ‘Beti Ke Samman Mein, Bhajpa Maidan Mein,’ meaning ‘For honour of a daughter, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is on the streets’.
The state BJP leaders are set met Governor Ram Naik to demand arrest of BSP General Secretary Naseemuddin Siddiqui and other leaders who took part in a demonstration on Thursday where foul and threatening language was used against Swati, Daya Shankar Singh’s wife, and his daughter.
BJP General Secretary Vijay Bahadur Pathak said BSP supremo Mayawati should show the same resolve in the case of Siddiqui that his party did in dealing with Daya Shankar Singh.
“We showed Daya Shankar the door after he made disparaging comments against Mayawati. Now its her turn to show that she also cares for the honour of a minor girl”, the BJP leader told IANS.
Mayawati had reportedly defended the conduct of BSP demonstrators, saying it will make him (Daya Shankar Singh) realise what it feels like when your daughter or sister is insulted.”
A BJP leader said: “We are for honour of every woman and will not take lying down the humiliation heaped on a minor girl by the BSP leadership.”
Swati and her mother-in-law have already lodged an FIR against Mayawati, Siddiqui, state party President Ram Achal Rajbhar and Secretary Mewalal for using foul and objectionable language against their family.
Daya Shankar Singh caused widespread outrage earlier this week by characterising Mayawati’s ticket distribution for her party as worse than the conduct of a “prostitute”.
The comments triggered huge protests in the Parliament, with Mayawati saying “his (Daya Shankar Singh’s) remarks apply to his sister and daughter and not me. The whole country will not forgive BJP… people will come on the streets”.
The BJP was quick to apologise and sack Daya Shankar Singh.
However, the situation became a tit-for-tat on Thursday when BSP workers used the same kind of offensive language against women that they were protesting against being used for their leader Mayawati.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
