Strict action needed against 'junglee' Naxals

A Delhi court on Monday sent self-proclaimed Hindutva influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj, who had publicly boasted about cracking the skull of the father of a student activist during the Jantar Mantar protests to 14 days of judicial custody. Bhardwaj was produced at the Patiala House Courts on Monday, following which additional sessions judge Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler passed the order. Bhardwaj will be produced before the court on September 21.  It should be noted that the Delhi police had detained Bhardwaj in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr on last Friday (September 4), after the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) staged a protest outside the Parliament Street police station demanding his arrest after he was heard openly admitting on a podcast that he had cracked open the minor girl's father's skull using a 'kada' and how no action was taken against him by the Delhi Police due to his alleged closeness with top politicians. I think that PM Modi should now make a reel to condemn the acts of such mentally disturbed psychos or communal rabies infected 'junglee' Naxals like Bhardwaj and promise to take action against such people who are promoting violence to divide citizens in the name of religion.
