Statue razing: Amit Shah warns severe action against culprits
New Delhi: Terming the incidents of toppling statues in Tripura and other parts of the country as unfortunate, BJP President Amit Shah on Wednesday warned of severe action against guilty party members.
In a series of tweets, the BJP president said destroying statues was extremely unfortunate.
"Any person associated with the BJP found to be involved with destroying any statue will face severe action from the party," he said.
In Tamil Nadu, a statue of iconic Dravidian leader Periyar was vandalized while a statue of Jana Sangh leader Syama Prasad Mookerjee was targeted in West Bengal.
"We as a party do not support bringing down anybody's statue," he said.
Shah also spoke to the party units in Tamil Nadu and Tripura and asked the leaders to take strong action if anybody was found involved in vandalism.

Auto driver Sharif murder case: Two taken into police custody
Mangaluru: In connection with the murder of Mulki-based auto rickshaw driver Muhammad Sharif (52), two individuals have been taken into custody by Manjeshwar police. Sharif, a resident of Kolnadu in Mulki, had gone missing on the night of April 9. His body was discovered the following night in an abandoned well in Kunjathur Padu, within the Manjeshwar police station limits.
According to police sources, preliminary postmortem findings confirmed that Sharif had been murdered before his body was dumped in the well. Investigation revealed that three individuals from Mangaluru had hired Sharif’s auto rickshaw on the night of his disappearance. CCTV footage from the Talapady toll gate captured the rickshaw heading towards Manjeshwar around midnight.
Based on this and other leads, Manjeshwar police intensified their probe and have now detained two suspects, both reportedly from Mangaluru, for questioning in connection with the case.
The investigation is ongoing.
