The Youth Congress workers staged a protest against the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government in Madhya Pradesh, over the rising crime against women in the wake of a brutal acid attack on a 24-year-old polytechnic teacher in Bhopal this morning.
The raucous protestors criticized the government over the ghastly acid attack and raised slogans such as "Shivraj teri tanashahi, nahi chalegi nahi chalegi".
The agitators also carried posters and banners and burned an effigy as well. One of the placards carried by the Youth Congress workers read "Mahilaon par atyachar band karo."
"The attack on the polytechnic teacher shows that acid is available freely. The government had assured that the sale of acid would be banned. The police, the government and administration suppress the raising voices against the government but the acid attackers are still roaming scot free," one of the protestors told media here.
"We demand that the person responsible for the attack be booked under Section 302, and all the shops selling acids be sealed," he added.
Two motorcycle-borne assailants threw acid on a 24-year-old polytechnic teacher in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal this morning.
The victim has been admitted to Bhopal's Narmada Hospital with severe burn injuries on the left side of her body.
The police said the assailants asked her some address and when she failed to answer, they attacked her and fled from the scene.
