New Delhi, Sep 16: The BJP on Thursday constituted a five-member committee, to look into the alleged assault on its members during their protest in West Bengal and demanded that the state government take strict action against the culprits.
The members of the committee are ex Uttar Pradesh DGP Brij Lal and Samir Oraon, both Rajya Sabha MPs, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, and Aparajita Sarangi, both Lok Sabha MPs and Sunil Jakhar, a BJP leader from Punjab, the party said in a notification.
The BJP has blamed the West Bengal government of inflicting “police atrocities” against its members during the protest over alleged corruption of the state.
However, CM Mamata Banerjee alleged that the BJP brought in hooligans armed with bombs in trains from outside the state in order to incite trouble during its march at Nabanna. The police could’ve opened fire on violent protesters, but the government exercised ultimate constraint.
