“It is a collective shame and tragedy that such acts of utter barbarism is allowed to play out publicly in wanton disregard to all laid down electoral, penal and moral codes of conduct, and is a stark reminder about the depths to which the party and government of the day can stoop down for Power,” stated the NPCC.
