New Delhi [India], June 28 : BJP MP and member of the party's fact-finding team formed to investigate post-poll violence in West Bengal, Ravi Shankar Prasad, alleged on Friday that 'Taliban Raj' has been established in West Bengal.
He also alleged that there is a complete violation of women's rights in West Bengal and the police are not doing anything.
"'Taliban Raj' has been established in West Bengal...The police are not doing anything...Even the media is not allowed to enter villages...The leaders of the opposition alliance are not saying anything about the atrocity...There is complete violation of women's rights in West Bengal," Prasad said.
Sharing similar sentiments, BJP MP Biplab Kumar Deb also said, "They (referring to TMC) have established a jungle Raj... the worst thing is that the police are working as TMC cadres."
Meanwhile, the BJP's fact-finding team, which investigated the alleged post-poll violence in Bengal, submitted its report to BJP President JP Nadda, on Friday.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fact-finding committee was formed to investigate post-poll violence in West Bengal after multiple reports of violence against BJP workers and vandalism of their offices emerged following the declaration of the 2024 Lok Sabha election results.
On Thursday, West Bengal's Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, welcomed the Calcutta High Court decision's to grant the Central Government full discretion to deploy Central Armed Paramilitary Forces in West Bengal to save the victims of post-poll violence and termed the decision as historic.
"One more failure of the State Machinery has come to the forefront. The Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta in a Public Interest Litigation filed by me to save the victims from post poll violence has essentially conferred the entire discretion of deploying Central Armed Paramilitary Forces in West Bengal to the Central Government. I welcome this historic decision of the Hon'ble Court, which will save a lot of lives in this failed state of West Bengal," Suvendu Adhikari said in a post on X.
Incidents of post-poll violence poured in from several areas of West Bengal, where BJP workers were allegedly beaten and their offices were vandalised, after the declaration of Lok Sabha 2024 results.
