Take action against those who hurled stones at Shah's convoy: BJP

HYDERABAD: BJP on Saturday urged Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Governor E S L Narasimhan to initiate appropriate action on the incident of TDP workers allegedly hurling stones at a vehicle in BJP president Amit Shah's convoy in Tirupati.

"...We are appealing to you to take note of the prevailing law and order situation in Andhra Pradesh, where attacks on public servants are quite common of late and no justice is being rendered to the victims and recommend to initiate appropriate action against the recent incident on the BJP National President at Tirupati on May 11" BJP said in a memorandum submitted to the Governor here.

Tension prevailed at Alipiri in Tirupati yesterday when TDP workers staged a demonstration against Amit Shah as he was proceeding to Renigunta airport from Tirumala hills and in the melee a stone was allegedly hurled at one of the vehicles at his convoy.
