Uttar Pradesh
LUCKNOW: At least six youth Congress workers were injured as the police lobbed tear gas shells and resorted to mild force to disperse the activists gheraoing the Uttar Pradesh Assembly here on Saturday. Led by their national and state unit presidents, Ashok Tanwar and Nadeem Ashraf Jaisi, the party activists marched to the Vidhan Sabha as part of their protest programmes against the non-governance and intimidation of political workers at the hands of Mulayam Singh Yadav Government. The activists who disrupted traffic on the busy Vidhan Sabha Marg for over two hours later courted arrest as police efforts to disperse them using teargas shells and mild lathi- charge failed. According to party sources, over 7,000 activists were taken to Police Lines while the injured were admitted to different hospitals. Senior party leaders including the State unit in charge Satyavrat Chaturvedi, Mr. Tanwar, Mr. Jaisi and Jagdambika Pal later met the workers at the Police Lines. Earlier, addressing the youth wing workers at the UPCC headquarters, Mr Chaturvedi said the aim of the dharna programme was not to attain power but to free the State of the non-governance. ``The present Government has no faith in democracy or the law of the land... and if the youth decide to bring a change in the system it could achieve it,'' he said adding parties harping on caste and religion cannot address the problems of the youth and Congress was their only hope. UPCC President, Salman Khursheed and Pramod Tewari also addressed the Youth Congress workers. PTI
