Kolkata, Feb 16: A six-member BJP delegation, dispatched by the national president, JP Nadda, to investigate the alleged atrocities in Sandeshkhali , faced obstruction by West Bengal police.

Voicing objections to the police intervention, the delegation stressed their intent to meet affected families, particularly women, and condemned the police's interference. Annapurna Devi accused the police of lacking the same urgency in arresting Sheikh Sahjahan, while Pratima Bhaowmick expressed dismay at the treatment of women in West Bengal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alleging government apprehension, Agnimitra Paul accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's administration of fear and suppression. The BJP delegation, mandated to assess the situation in Sandeshkhali, contends that the government's reluctance to permit their visit indicates an attempt to conceal incidents of violence.
