New Delhi: In an appalling incident, a man in Madhya Pradesh – allegedly a worker of the BJP – was filmed urinating on the face of a tribal boy. While there is no clarity on when the incident occurred, the video depicting the act was shared widely on social media on Tuesday, July 4, triggering widespread condemnation.The man shown in the video has reportedly been identified as Pravesh Shukla, apparently a close aide of BJP MLA Kedar Nath Shukla. This claim was made by Congress leader Abbas Hafeez. The video depicts Shukla urinating on the man’s face while smoking. The Wire has seen the video and is intentionally not sharing it.According to NDTV, Shukla was arrested late on Tuesday night. A case has been registered against him under the National Security Act, SC/ST Act and sections of the Indian Penal Code.“The BJP leader, who talks falsely about the interests of the tribals, is pissing on a tribal poor person like this. Very condemnable act. @ChouhanShivraj Yes, is this your tribal love?? What to call this Jungle Raj and why the BJP leader was not arrested? The name of the accused is being told as Pravesh Shukla, who is the representative of the BJP MLA. The MLA is Kedar Nath Shukla. There are photographs of the accused urinating on the tribal youth along with veteran BJP leaders,” Hafeez tweeted from his official page.Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party leader Naresh Balyan labelled Pravesh Shukla as a ‘devil’.“This video is said to be from Madhya Pradesh, and information is coming that this person is the direct representative of the BJP MLA. Respected. @ChouhanShivraj Yes, this devil is not doing it on the face of that poor man but on your system. It is your responsibility that no one should trouble that poor person,” he tweeted.Meanwhile, the ruling BJP denied any association with the accused while and the Madhya Pradesh police registered a case against Pravesh Shukla under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan vowed to take stringent action, including invoking the National Security Act.“A viral video from Sidhi district has come to my notice….I have instructed the administration to arrest the culprit and take the strictest action and also invoke the National Security Act,” Chouhan said in a tweet.State Congress chief Kamal Nath expressed outrage and called for severe punishment for the accused, demanding an “end to atrocities” against tribals in Madhya Pradesh. “This incident has put entire Madhya Pradesh to shame….strictest punishment should be given to the guilty person and atrocities on tribals in Madhya Pradesh should be stopped,” the former chief minister said, according to Siasat.Pawan Khera, the chairman of the Congress’s Media and Publicity Department, shared the video clip along with a picture of a banner on which the accused was described as ‘Vidhayak Pratinidhi Sidhi’.“In the 21st century, such inhuman atrocities are happening with the tribals of our country and we are dreaming of becoming Vishwaguru! What could be more embarrassing for all of us than this?” he tweeted.The child who was urinated on is a Tribal.After peeing, Pravesh Shukla, representative of #BJP MLA in MP’s Sidhi district, got the boy’s father to sign an affidavit that the video was fake. The #BJP government in #MadhyaPradesh is doing such things.Thank You @Samiksh50622996 pic.twitter.com/sbvpKovkWQ— Korkadu Ashok (@dharunkumaran) July 4, 2023
