The House of Fiji Islands Council Trade Union General Secretary Attar Singh was stoned at around 3 this morning while the family was asleep.
The house located at Kula Street in Samabula, was attacked by a group of unidentified men who threw large stones which damaged the front side of the house and the two rear windows of his car.
Singh believes this morning's stoning incident which damaged the glass of his vehicles and a window of his house is the work of those people who do not like what he is doing.
Singh, who is still waiting for the police investigation report into the matter, said the incident was planned as they struck at a time when no-one would see them.
Police have taken the statements of the neighbors and an investigation is currently underway.
Meanwhile, the National Federation Party (NFP) has labeled the stoning of FICTU General Secretary Attar Singh's house as an act of cowardice.
General Secretary Pramod Rae said the fact that Lovo stones were used is the work of cowards who resort to violence when faced with the truth.
Rae goes on to add that this is the latest of scares given to those who speak out publicly, citing the case of where Singh was attacked in 2006 and another being the case of Kenneth Zinck whose car was smashed outside his home early this year.
The Party added that people should realize that such actions do not act a deterrent but only strengthens their resolve to continue with their work.
