April 02, 2016 22:07

Deposed Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat was on Saturday allegedly shown black flags and his convoy pelted with stones in Dehradun when he was going to an event to mobilise public opinion against the dismissal of his government.

"The stones thrown from under a flyover by the BJP goons hit vehicles in the convoy of the former CM. Fortunately, no one was hurt but it shows the desperation of BJP which has lost all sense of political courtesy," senior Congress leader and former CM's media incharge Surendra Kumar told PTI.

However, undeterred by the attack, Rawat came out of his car to lead a march from Kanwali road to Balliwala chawk during which he was also shown black flags.

Later, addressing a large public meeting at Sadhuram Inter College, he asked the people of the state to teach a lesson to those who had dislodged a democratically-elected government in the state with the power of money and muscle.
