Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, on Friday visited Malda’s Mothabari, which had been rocked by communal violence recently, and blamed the Mamata Banerjee government for the breakdown of law and order there.
Senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh, on the other hand, led a march in Malda town to protest against the Mothabari clash.
Adhikari met the victims of the unrest that rocked the area in the last week of March and offered monetary help to 86 families.
“Blatant inaction of police led to the deterioration of law and order in Mothabari. Those who caused the unrest were not arrested. Instead, 23 innocent persons were nabbed. Six petitions have already been filed in Calcutta High Court, seeking an NIA probe into the incident,”Adhikari said.
He visited Mandal Para, Haldar Para and two other areas of Mothabari, along with BJP supporters.
