Tur organises ‘beef party’ protests Shah’s visit

SHILLONG:  Thma U Rangli Juki (TUR), a pressure group organised a beef party to protest the visit of BJP national president Amit Shah to the city on Wednesday.
The protestors initially planned to stage the ‘party’ near the convention centre adjacent to Pine wood Hotel where Shah was to address the BJP party functionaries. However, when police prevented the over more 40 members of the group from proceeding to the convention centre, they were forced to organise the party near Raj Bhavan.
The protest party included serving of beef and rice for lunch, singing of songs, and holding of placards protesting Shah’s visit.
The placards held by the protestors called for Shah’s arrest for alleged genocide and demanded freedom for minorities.
