NEW DELHI: The Union home ministry has summoned West Bengal DGP and chief secretary on December 14 regarding the law and order situation in the state. This comes a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) chief JP Nadda’s convoy was attacked.
On Thursday, Nadda along with BJP leaders Dilip Ghosh and Kailash Vijayvargiya was on his way to the Diamon Harbour to attend the party’s organisational meeting when the convoy in which he was seated was attacked. The video of the assault that went viral on social media showed the windshields of the convoy were shattered as stones were thrown at it.
Union home minister Amit Shah condemned the attack and said that the Trinamool Congress-ruled government will be answerable to the peace-loving people of West Bengal.
“The attack on BJP president JP Nadda is condemnable. No matter how much we condemn, it will not be enough. The Centre is taking this very seriously. The West Bengal government will be answerable to the peace-loving people of the state for this,” Shah’s tweet roughly translated from Hindi read.
