Kolkata, 7 October (IANS) BJP from West Bengal on Tuesday demanded an inquiry into a National Investigation Agency (NIA) of the attack on party MP Khagan Murmu and MLA Shankar Ghosh.

Referring to the attack on Bhattacharya’s BJP MP Khagan Murmu at a press conference in Kolkata, “We are demanding an NIA investigation in the incident. It cannot continue repeatedly. If someone feels that the BJP can be scared by attacking an MP and he is bleeding from blood, then they are wrong.”
Attacking the state administration, not a day after the incident, not to arrest the accused, the state BJP president said, “Those who used to carry out the attack yesterday, even if they were hidden, our government (Center) will pull them out through the legal system.”
Meanwhile, after a large -scale landslide of at least 36 people, the omist officer in North Bengal also criticized the Mamata Banerjee government for failure to arrest the culprits.
Talking to media persons here, LOP said, “If no arrests are made till this evening (Tuesday), we will go to the Calcutta High Court holiday bench tomorrow. Yesterday, we saw that our leaders were attacked while providing relief. People who were attacked were seen in the video of the incident.
Sending a message to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the Lopa Officer said, “This is not the time of politics. We have to stand with each other and work together if necessary. Now no one is taking the party flag while helping people. Why did they attack Khagan Murmu, Shankar Ghosh? It is very unfortunate.”
