Jai Ram Thakur accuses Himachal government of political vendetta

Jai Ram Thakur, a former chief minister and leader of the opposition in Himachal Pradesh, held a press conference where he accused the current government of targeting BJP leaders through criminal cases.

He mentioned that several BJP MLAs and former ministers were being harassed, including Ashish Sharma, who faced an FIR for theft and cheating.

Thakur also raised concerns about illegal tree felling and mining, alleging that the government was not taking action where ruling party leaders were involved.

The government, however, denied these allegations, stating that the police were acting without prejudice and that the government was committed to making the state crime-free.

The government also emphasized its zero-tolerance policy towards drugs, illegal mining, corruption, and violence against women.
