Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) activists torched a large Nokia showroom in central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
In Jabalpur, a large number of BJP activists assembled in the city and burnt down the mobile handset shop.
BJP activists not only torched the shop but also destroyed a large number of hoardings in major areas of the city and other towns in the state. The activists urged authorities to take action against Nokia for indulging in “anti-national” activities. The protesters also clarified that they would intensify their protests should the authorities not take up the matter and if a case was not registered.
The Nokia showroom owner later accused the BJP activists of deliberately attacking the shop and said that he had nothing to do with the new application developed by the company “This software is developed by Nokia. This is the problem of Nokia and we’re not concerned with it as we’re simply shop owners, not the client of the company. But, the manner in which the mob entered and started torching the shop is bad,” said Rafiq Khan, the Nokia showroom owner.
