BJP's Shagun Parihar Heckled by PDP Candidate at J-K Polling Station Amid 1st Phase Voting I Video

Jammu: BJP candidate Shagun Parihar was heckled at the Bagwan Mohalla polling station in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar during the first phase of voting on Wednesday. The BJP has alleged that workers from the PDP and its Candidate Firdous Tak heckled Parihar when she arrived at the polling station after receiving information about alleged fake voting.

Shagun Parihar is BJP 's candidate in fray from the Kishtwar constituency.

 Security forces were kept on standby near the polling station as police and election authorities worked to defuse the situation. Additional paramilitary forces attempted to remove the PDP workers and their candidate from the scene.

Voting at the Bagwan Mohalla polling station was temporarily halted amid the escalating tensions between BJP and PDP supporters. However, the situation was brought under control after the Deputy Commissioner of Kishtwar, Rajesh Shavan, arrived at the site, and polling resumed. 

 "The (PDP) candidate came here and said this girl is playing the victim card and trying to get sympathy. I felt bad. I said why would I play the victim card and said you have made me a victim. They tried to push me. PDP and National Conference workers entered the place where voting was taking place...", Parihar said

In response to the incident, the BJP announced plans to file a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding the heckling of their candidate. BJP General Secretary Sunil Sharma confirmed that the party's Jammu and Kashmir unit would be writing to the ECI soon, seeking action against PDP candidate Firdous Tak for the incident involving Shagun Parihar.
