In the wake of violence over Ram Navami procession in West Bengal, BJP chief Amit Shah today constituted a four-member committee comprising senior party leaders, who would visit the State and submit a report to him in this regard.
Shah condemned the violence at Asansol in West Bengal and said “such incidents are unfortunate and painful”, the saffron party said in a statement.
The four-member committee comprises the party’s national vice-president Om Mathur, spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain and two MPs -- Roopa Ganguly and V D Ram.
Earlier, the BJP had hit out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the incidents of violence in the State and accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo of doing politics while the State was burning.
A clash had broken out between two groups over a Ram Navami procession at Raniganj, near Asansol, on Monday. One person was allegedly hacked to death while a deputy commissioner of police had lost a hand after being hit by a bomb.
