BJP delegation that visited Bhatpara in Bengal submits report to Amit Shah
New Delhi, Jun 25 (UNI): The BJP delegation of lawmakers under the leadership of former Union minister S.S. Ahluwalia, which visited violence-hit Bhatpara in West Bengal, submitted its report to party chief and Union Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday.
"I cannot reveal everything, but among other things we have recommended adequate financial support to the families of the victims who lost lives and were injured during the violence," Mr Ahluwalia later told reporters.
The BJP team comprised of two other MPs - Satyapal Singh and Vishnu Dayal Ram - incidentally both former IPS officers.
Source said that the BJP team has found that the local police under Mamata Banerjee regime was acting in a "partisan" manner.
The team led by Ahluwalia, also an elected MP from Bardhaman-Durgapur parliamentary constituency, had visited Bhatpara on Saturday.
Two people were killed and 11 people were injured in clashes in the town in North 24 Parganas district last week.
Sources also said that police tried to prevent the delegation from going to the area and tried to prevent them at the airport as Section 144 of CrPC was imposed.
