New Delhi: The Youth Wing of the BJP attacked Kashmiri separatist Hurriyat Conference Mirwaiz Umer Farooq's car on Tuesday when he was entering Foreign Correspondent's club in New Delhi to attend a seminar.
As the news about his presence at the seminar came out, activists of Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha assembled outside the venue and shouted slogans against the Mirwaiz.
Shouting slogans like "Bharat Mata ki Jai" and "Vande Mataram", the demonstrators hurled eggs, water bottles and a few stones at the SUV of the Mirwaiz, damaging the windscreen of the vehicle.
"We are here to protest the Mirwaiz's presence. He should not be allowed to participate in any programme as he furthers anti-India agenda," BJYM activist Anil Sharma told reporters while he was being detained.
The commotion lasted for nearly 45 minutes before the protesters were whisked away in two buses.
The Mirwaiz was coming out of an auditorium in Kolkata after attending a seminar on 'Kashmir- A Way Out' when members of Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), who were holding banners and shoes tied to a stick, threw eggs at his car, besides shouting slogans.
