Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today slammed the "dirty politics" being played over the killing of eight SIMI operatives by police and said the slain men were "dreaded terrorists" who could have wreaked devastation.
Speaking to reporters after paying tributes to Head Constable Ramashankar Yadav, who was killed by the activists while escaping from the Bhopal Central Jail yesterday, Chouhan said he was pained to see that certain politicians were making a "hue and cry over the terrorists but not saying a word of solace for the martyred policemen."
Head Constable Ramashankar Yadav, killed by SIMI activists for escaping from jail, was a doting father who was excited about the upcoming marriage of his daughter, but the tragedy has now pushed the family into profound grief.
Ramashankar was “happy and excited over his 24-year-old daughter Sonia's wedding scheduled for 9 December" said his nephew Vijay Shanker Yadav.
Ramashankar had earlier suffered a heart attack.
Ramashankar's two sons – Shambhunath and Prabhunath – are in the army, who are currently posted at Guwahati and Hissar, respectively.
