MP Cong condemns case against former minister

Bhopal, Dec 27 (UNI) The Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee today condemned the filing of a case under the Indian Penal Code's Section 307 against party MLA and former minister Harvansh Singh and described it as an act of political vendetta.

''The case was registered following a state government directive and exerting pressure on police. Mr Singh is heading a state-level committee to take forward the agitation on the dumpers' purchase issue in which Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is embroiled,'' General Secretary Manak Agrawal said in a statement issued here.

He warned that the Congress would take to the streets if the case was not withdrawn.
