Mumbai: Activists of Ramdas Athawale-led RPI on Friday allegedly attacked the Mumbai Congress office after their leader's belongings were "thrown out" from his MP residence in Delhi.

They pelted stones at the newly-renovated office and shouted slogans against the government.

"We condemn the government's act of throwing out Athawale's belongings out of 8 Lodhi Estate, the residence he was alloted as a member of the Parliament," a supporter said.

Athawale lost the recent Lok Sabha poll from Shirdi.

RPI supporters shouted slogans against Congress president Sonia Gandhi and the UPA government. The refurbished MRCC office, Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan, was inaugurated by Gandhi earlier this week.

It is a pity that Ex MPs/MLAs, including minsters continue to occupy government bungallows/flats and other government accommodation, unuthorisedly with utter disregard to the government rules and despite repeated requests for the eviction. Since no one is above the law of the land, the central and state governments are fully justified in evicting the unauthorised occupants forcefully. as A resentment the supporters of Ex MP Athawale, the uauthorisedioccupant of govt asccommopdation taking law in their hands by damaging congress office in Mumbai should be dealt with severly as per the law.
