Lok Sabha 2019: After Receiving Police Protection, Urmila Matondkar Confronted By BJP Workers Again
Lok Sabha elections 2019: A group of BJP supporters chanted slogans during a roadshow of actor and Congress candidate Urmila Matondkar in suburban Malad, police said.
Urmila
Matondkar
had
asked
for
police
protection
after
Congress
and
BJP
workers
got
into
a
scuffle
two
days
ago
while
she
was
canvassing
at
the
Borivali
railway
station
and
the
police
acted
immediately
on
her
complaint
and
offered
protection
till
the
elections
are
over.
It
is
again
reported
that
Urmila
Matondkar
was
confronted
by
BJP
workers
again
despite
having
police
security.
A
group
of
BJP
supporters
chanted
slogans
during
a
roadshow
of
actor
and
Congress
candidate
Urmila
Matondkar
in
suburban
Malad,
police
said.
This
was
the
second
time
Matondkar,
who
is
pitted
against
the
BJP's
Gopal
Shetty
in
Mumbai
North
seat,
faced
slogan-shouting
supporters
of
the
BJP
party.
A
group
of
BJP
supporters
arrived
as
Matondkar
was
riding
a
van
along
Daftary
road
in
Dindoshi,
and
started
chanting
"Modi,
Modi" near
her
vehicle,
a
police
officer
said.
The
policemen
present
at
the
spot
kept
Congress
and
BJP
workers
away
from
each
other
to
avert
a
clash,
he
said.
After
chanting
slogans,
the
group
left,
he
added.
Right
after
the
first
scuffle
two
days
ago,
a
distraught
Urmila
Matondkar
said,
''This
is
just
the
beginning
and
may
take
a
violent
turn.
I
have
asked
for
police
protection
as
there
is
a
threat
to
my
life.
I
have
filed
a
police
complaint.''
The
actress
turned
politician
further
stated,
''Those
who
confronted
our
rally
indulged
in
vulgar
dancing
and
used
abusive
language.
May
be
they
wanted
to
scare
the
women
who
were
walking
near
us.
I
am
mentally
disturbed
and
I
am
in
shock
due
to
the
incident."
