Asansol (West Bengal) [India], August 6 (ANI): Following the alleged attack on West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari’s convoy in Cooch Behar on Monday, BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul said that the BJP would not be “scared” and demanded that the Union Home Ministry carry out an inquiry into the attack
She stated that in the wake of the attack, the BJP would launch a protest on the streets.
On the alleged attack on the West Bengal LoP Suvendu Adhikari’s convoy, Paul told reporters, “…We want the Union Home Ministry to carry out an inquiry and find out who is behind this. A few years ago, JP Nadda was attacked, Sukanta Majumdar and Nisith Pramanik were also attacked… Whenever we try to conduct a program in West Bengal, we are attacked. We are not going to be scared. We will do whatever is necessary for the people of West Bengal…”
The convoy of Suvendu Adhikari was allegedly attacked in Cooch Behar on Monday while he was on his way to meet the Superintendent of Police. Adhikari claimed that the attack was orchestrated because of his push for implementing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in the state.
Speaking to reporters, Adhikari said, “The Court had granted permission for the LoP and five MLAs to meet the SP. During our arrival, and later in Khagarabari, my convoy was attacked under the leadership of Udayan Guha (TMC leader), a state minister, and in the presence of police. I was with Nishith Pramanik in his bulletproof car, which was completely damaged in an attempt to kill me. Udayan Guha is solely responsible for this, and SP Dyutiman Bhattacharya has helped him in this… They brought in Rohingyas and Bangladeshi Muslims to attack us. After Bihar, SIR will be done in West Bengal too… I will see Udayan Guha and Dyutiman Bhattacharya in Court.”
He further alleged that democracy had collapsed in West Bengal.
“They brought in the Rohingyas and Bangladeshi Muslims to attack us. They were brought to Khagarabari. In Bihar, SIR was conducted, and they came to know that it would be done in West Bengal, so I was attacked. Cooch Behar is located near the Bangladesh border, and I raised my voice to remove the intruders, so I was attacked,” he added. (ANI)
