Kolkata, Jul 8 (IBNS): A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) team from the Centre was stopped from visiting strife-torn Basirhat and adjoining areas, about 80km from Kolkata, on Saturday, according to media reports.
BJP MPs Meenakshi Lekhi, Om Mathur, and Satyapal Singh were stopped from visiting the riot-torn area in West Bengal by the local police.
