Put down violence firmly: Dr.JP urges police

Lok Satta party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan today asked the police to put down communal violence ruthlessly and restore peace as soon as possible.

"The need of the hour is immediate peace restoration and not recrimination and finger pointing" said Dr. JP in a statement released to the media.

Continuance of the disturbances would rob youngsters of their peace of mind and disrupt their future at a time they are taking their annual examinations.

In addition disturbances will aggravate the miseries of the poor daily wage earners, who are already reeling under the impact of scorching summer heat, deteriorating drinking water supply and frequent power cut.

Dr. JP said he believed the police would act fairly and firmly and with a sense of urgency.
