BJP delegation to meet President, Home Minister over Malda

New Delhi, Jan 12 (IBNS) A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delegation is set to meet Union Home Minister President Pranab Mukherjee and Rajnath Singh to apprise them of the law and order situation in West Bengal, reports said.

This comes after a BJP delegation to Malda was turned away at the railway station.

The BJP has said that the violence in Malda was not a communal incident but a planned attack by people backed by the Trinamool Congress.

On January 3, a mob set the Kaliachak police station and several vehicles on fire in protest against a hate speech by a right-wing leader. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the violence was nothing more than a local problem and claimed that the state government was taking appropriate action.

TMC accused the BJP of spreading communal hatred ahead of the state polls this year.

Reacting to the incident, BJP's Sidharth Nath Singh had accused Mamata Banerjee of playing "dirtiest vote bank politics in Malda and Bengal".
