Kolkata, March 23: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will visit Birbhum’s Rampurhat tomorrow, where violence erupted, killing eight people, including six women and two children. She also said that those responsible will be held accountable.
“We condemn this incident. We will not spare anyone involved in the Rampurhat incident. Will take strong action,” says Mamata Banerjee.
“This is Bengal, not Uttar Pradesh. I had sent a delegation of TMC to Hathras but we were not allowed an entry. But we are not stopping anyone from coming here,” she said on the incident.
“The government is ours, we are concerned about people in our state. We would never want anyone to suffer. The Birbhum, Rampurhat incident is unfortunate. I have immediately dismissed the OC, SDPO. I will go to Rampurhat tomorrow,” she further added.
Earlier in the day, the Calcutta High Court has registered a suo moto case in the incident of Rampurhat, Birbhum district on Wednesday.
Nearly a dozen houses were set ablaze in a village in West Bengal’s Birbhum district early Tuesday, killing eight people, including three women and two children, in a suspected retaliation for the murder of a ruling TMC panchayat officer.
