Ranchi, May 03: Demanding a judicial probe into the
arrest of its legislature party leader, Furkan Ansari, on
April 29, the Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee today said
that it would seek Governor Ved Prakash Marwah's intervention
in what it says is a conspiracy to put him in jail.
The JPCC secretary, Gulfam Mujib, told a press conference
here that they would meet the Governor tomorrow to submit a
memorandum on the events leading to the Godda Lok Sabha
nominee, Ansari's arrest during repolling on April 29 in
Godda.
''The party also demands a judicial inquiry by a retired
High Court judge and immediate submission of final report to
the court so that Ansari may prove his innocence soon,'' he
said.
Ansari, the CLP leader in Jharkhand assembly, was
yesterday admitted to the Rajendra institute of medical
sciences after he complained of pain in his chest at Godda
sub-jail where he was lodged after alleged violation of the
Representation of People's Act and Arms Act.
He also said that the party invited its allies - JMM,
RJD and Left Parties - for tomorrow's demonstration.
