On Tuesday a four-member central team of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) met with victims of the alleged post-poll violence against party workers in West Bengal at the BJP’s party office in Amtala in South 24 Parganas.
The team including former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and party MPs Biplab Kumar Deb, Brij Lal, and Kavita Patidar had arrived in the State on Sunday.
The team aims to meet party workers allegedly displaced from their homes due to alleged post-poll violence across West Bengal.
Rajya Sabha MP and former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb said, ‘Women are not given respect here and we will put an end to this system. We will submit this report to JP Nadda and our team will work not only with the BJP party workers but with all the women of Bengal to free it’.
Yesterday, Ravi Shankar Prasad alleged that a Trinamool Congress worker had attempted to rape a Scheduled Caste (SC) woman and no FIR was lodged against him.
Prasad added, ‘The people of Cooch Behar were beaten. Women and children were mistreated. But the most disturbing incident is that a TMC worker attempted to rape a woman belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC). Her clothes were torn and was molested in the village. She even identified the TMC worker but even an FIR has not been lodged against the man. The woman told us everything as she was crying. We wouldn’t like to reveal her identity’.
