“Where was the team when Assam was burning due to the NRC, thousands of people were murdered in Uttar Pradesh in the name of the encounter; when wrestlers were protesting against sexual harassment; and when protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) happened in Delhi, which led to violent protests and the burning of property. Meanwhile, within 2 years, so many teams and commissions have visited Bengal; close to 154 teams have visited. These are BJP’s provocation committees, not fact-finding committees” – Mamata Banerjee, Wes Bengal CM
Kolkata, Jul 13: The fact-finding team led by BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad is BJP’s provocation committee, said West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee here on Wednesday (Jul 12).
Earlier in the day, Ravi Shankar Prasad arrived in Kolkata with the fact-finding team constituted by the party to inquire into the violence that erupted during the Gram Panchayat elections. Talking about the violence in Bhangar, the CM assured that the guilty would be punished. The West Bengal CM announced compensation and a government job for the family members of the victim.
The West Bengal CM said that the Trinamool Congress party will not celebrate Martyr’s Day this year in order to pay homage to the victims of panchayat violence. On July 21, a mass rally has been organised by the Trinamool Congress party to commemorate the 1993 Kolkata firing as Martyrs’ Day.
