Unacceptable, no matter whose son: PM Modi on Akash Vijayvargiya

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Terming it “unacceptable”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed displeasure with BJP legislator Akash Vijayvargiya, who had thrashed a Municipal Corporation officer with a cricket bat. During the BJP’s Parliamentary Party meeting held today, the Prime Minister said such behaviour is unacceptable, irrespective of whose son he is, sources said.

 The Indore-3 legislator and son of senior party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya was recently jailed for thrashing the municipal officer, on an anti- encroachment drive, following a heated argument. A BJP lawmaker, on condition of anonymity, told, “The Prime Minister is very upset with Akash Vijayvargiya for his recent conduct.  The Prime Minister said that local unit of the BJP should be immediately dissolved for welcoming Akash on coming out of jail.”

“PM even said that such leaders should be expelled from the party,” the MP added. Demanding a thorough probe into the matter, Modi said that those backing such behaviour should also be questioned, sources added. He advised party MPs to behave in a “responsible and cordial manner”. Modi also warned MPs to give full time in the Parliament and raise issues related to the common man.
