‘Not justifying, but such incidents are more frequent in Gujarat, UP, Bihar’: Mamata on Birbhum violence

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday called the Rampurhat incident in Birbhum “unfortunate” but added that such incidents are more frequent in UP, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan.

Mamata, who will visit Rampurhat on March 24, said she is not justifying the killings and her government will take action in a fair manner.

“Strict action will be taken against all those responsible for the Birbhum incident, irrespective of their (political) colours,” Mamata said.

“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,” Mamata said.

Mamata alleged that such incidents of violence are results of conspiracy hatched to divert attention from issues of concern, such as price hike of petrol and other commodities.
