Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) hits out at centre over the decision of probe into the attack of BJP chief JP Nadda.
The ruling party in West Bengal, TMC, accused BJP of making false claims and said one of his subordinates of triggering the violence.
“BJP leader Rakesh Singh was in a convoy in front of him. He has 59 criminal cases against him and he made provocative gestures at the crowd. An FIR (First Information Report) has been registered against him and seven people have been arrested over the incident,” Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee told the media.
“There was some trouble only for 10-15 minutes at Sirakol. There was no trouble at Diamond Harbour,” he said.
Earlier today, the Home Ministry has summoned West Bengal police chief and chief secretary on December 14 regarding the law and order situation in the state.
The Home Ministry has also sought a report from the Bengal government over the ‘sponsored violence’ after BJP chief’s Nadda’s convoy was attacked with bricks, stones and stick near Kolkata. In this attack some leaders were injured and cars were damaged and the BJP claimed that it was the work of supporters of Mamata Banerjee’s TMC government.
