Kolkata: Bengal BJP on Sunday submitted a complaint to Union home minister Amit Shah alleging police inaction during Saturday’s attack on the ‘parivartan yatra’ at Minakhan in North 24 Parganas. The party has sent a similar complaint to the Election Commission of India.
In the letter, BJP alleged that Trinamool Congress supporters hurled bombs and pelted stones at a “peaceful rally” that was being conducted with necessary permission. The letter said police did not take any action to control the mob and the incident was captured by the media.
“A lot of vehicles” were damaged and several party workers injured, BJP said, adding that the condition of two persons — Anitro Acharya and Pradip Das — was critical.
