KOLKATA: Two girls have been stripped and assaulted in West Bengal’s Malda district earlier this week by a gaggle of individuals, BJP claimed on Saturday.

The declare was promptly rubbished by the ruling TMC, which accused the saffron celebration of resorting to ‘diversionary techniques’.

Malviya tweeted, “The horror continues in West Bengal. Two tribal girls have been stripped bare, tortured and overwhelmed mercilessly, whereas the police remained a mute spectator in Pakua Hat space of Bamangola police station, Malda.

He mentioned, “The horrific incident took place on the morning of 19th July. The women belonged to the socially marginalised community and had a frenzied mob baying for their blood . It had all the makings of a tragedy that should have ‘broken’ Mamata Banerjee’s heart and she, instead of merely outraging, could have acted, since she is also the home minister of Bengal.”

Rubbishing the costs, the state Minister for Women and Child Health, Shashi Panja advised reporters right here that the ladies have been embroiled in a scuffle with different girls who accused them of theft and girls civic police volunteers who have been current on the spot tried to cease them.

Later the ladies left on their very own. She accused BJP of resorting to ‘diversionary techniques’ by hyping a quarrel between native girls over sale of greens and allegations of theft. “The scuffle has no political or casteist overtones,” the minister asserted.

“After the surfacing of the video of two women being disrobed and paraded by a mob in Manipur, after hundreds of such incidents come to light every day and after the deafening silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for months even after Manipur burnt, BJP is now trying to deflect attention from the main issue.The main issue is the trampling of human rights, brutalities against women and the inaction of the BJP government in the state (Manipur). But BJP’s ploy will not succeed. Everyone knows what happened in Manipur and the Centre’s role in it . BJP is unnecessarily making this a political issue,” Panja mentioned.

How come the central forces camping in the booths did not report anything? Police investigations too indicated no such incident took place.”

We assert that Modi can not escape going through queries by MPs in Parliament on the ugly happenings in Manipur by utilizing such techniques . Bengal isn’t like Manipur or every other BJP-ruled states. No bestial crimes towards girls are reported in our state, which is helmed by a lady (Mamata Banerjee).

Still if there may be report of any incident our police and investigating companies take obligatory motion,” she added.

Police mentioned the ladies had gone to promote their wares on the market at Bamangola in Malda district on the day and the individuals suspected them of committing theft.

WBPCC president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury alleged that a number of such circumstances weren’t even reported.

“I strongly condemn the incident. Those responsible for it must be brought to book and the strictest punishment meted out to them,” he advised reporters right here.

BJP’s declare in regards to the assault of ladies in Malda got here on the heels of one other by the state celebration president Sukanta Majumdar at a press convention in Delhi on Friday.
