Chidambaram denounces attack on Prashant Bhushan

New Delhi: Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has deplored the attack on senior Supreme Court advocate and Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan, who was beaten in his chamber by a youth this afternoon allegedly for his Kashmir comments.

Mr Chidambaram said Delhi Police was looking for other persons who were involved in the attack.
The youths barged into his chamber and started beating him up, before being overpowered by others present in the room.
The two attackers claimed that they were from Sri Ram Sene. The attackers told a news channel that they were provoked by Bhushan’s comments on Kashmir. One of the attackers has been arrested by the Police.
Bhushan, who was taken to Ram Manohan Lohia hospital, filed an FIR against the attackers.
In an earlier interview, Prashant had reportedly said that the Kashmiri people should be given ‘azadi’ if they don’t want to live with India. He had also reportedly recommended withdrawl of Indian army from Kashmir.
