The BJP’s West Bengal president Sukanta Majumdar on Tuesday was stopped for the second consecutive day from visiting the riot-hit areas of Hooghly district by the police citing prohibitory orders.
Prohibitory orders below Section 144 of CrPC are in pressure in a number of locations of the district the place clashes broke out between two teams throughout a Ram Navami procession on Sunday.
Two Ram Navami processions have been organised in Rishra space, and one in all which was attacked close to a Wellington Jute Mill More on GT Road round 6.15 pm on Sunday, police stated.
Majumdar, an MP from Balurghat in North Bengal, was on his method to the Battala within the Serampore Lok Sabha space to attend a protest programme.
But Majumdar, alongside along with his get together MP Jyotoirmoy Singh Mahato, was stopped on Dankuni Road by the police.
“We did not break Sec 144. We requested the police to at least allow my party MP Jyotoirmoy Singh Mahato and me. The police don’t want to allow me as they want to hide the truth,” the BJP state president instructed reporters.
Majumdar, who had demanded that central forces be instantly deployed within the trouble-hit areas and an NIA probe because the “state police have completely failed to control the situation”, stated if he isn’t allowed to affix the protest at Battala, he would launch a sit in on that spot.
The BJP state president on Monday was stopped from visiting the violence-hit Rishra space in Hooghly district by the police citing prohibitory orders within the space.
Reacting to his allegations, TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh accused the BJP of fomenting bother.
“The BJP is trying to disrupt communal harmony and peace in the state. When the police have restored peace, why is the BJP trying to foment trouble? At the cost of peace, the BJP wants to get votes,” he stated.
