Bengaluru: Despite Being Expelled Attempt-To-Murder Accused Leads Youth Congress Protest Against Rafale Deal

Former General Secretary of Youth Congress Mohammed Harris Nalapad who is the son of Shantinagar Congress MLA NA Harris was found leading a Youth Congress rally against the Centre to protest against Rafale deal, reported Deccan Herald.

Nalapad had come into the public limelight in February for allegedly beating-up a man at an upscale restaurant and later at a hospital in Bengaluru. Following the incident, an attempt-to-murder case was lodged against Harris, who has also been accused of land grab.

Subsequently he was expelled from the party for a period of six years by the then Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Dr G Parameshwara. This resurgence has now led the opposition parties attacking the Congress in Karnataka.

Nalapad was reported to be climbing barricades and shouting slogans against the BJP at the protest. The police took him into preventive custody soon after he ended his stunt.

A few days earlier as well Nalapad was seen leading a Congress rally during the Bharat Bandh to protest against the fuel price hike.
