BJP today submitted a memorandum to Governor Kalyan Singh on violence at the party's office in Shimla on January 29 and accused the Congress government of not taking a proper action against those involved in it.
The entire BJP legislature party led by Prem Kumar Dhumal skipped Question Hour and marched to Raj Bhawan to submit the memorandum to the governor.
The memorandum alleged that the state government had failed to take a proper action against the Youth Congress workers who were allegedly involved in the incident and the state police was trying to hush up the matter.
BJP in the memorandum said that if an action was not taken against the culprits by March 31, the party would launch a state-wide agitation.
The BJP had earlier presented a memorandum to the Governor on January 30 on the issue and had also given notice for an adjournment motion yesterday, pleading that it was "rarest of rare cases in which one BJP worker lost his eye while several others were injured".
BJP is demanding a CBI probe or an enquiry by a sitting judge of a high court into the incident but the state government conducted a magisterial enquiry, which was rejected by the party.
The governor said that he would get the memorandum legally examined.
