Murshidabad violence planned by BJP: CM
Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a 'great liar', Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said that the violence at Rezinagar in Murshidabad on Wednesday was preplanned by the BJP.
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today slammed the BJP for the lathi charge on girl students of Benaras Hindu University.
“BJP version of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao in BHU,” Gandhi tweeted, attaching a video link of the students who alleged that they were beaten up by male policemen at the campus.
The Banaras Hindu University (BHU) campus last night witnessed violence by students who were lathicharged by the police, in an ugly turn of a protest against an alleged eve- teasing incident.
