In the backdrop of death of three persons in West Bengal's Birbhum district, a central team of BJP is all set to visit the district on October 30 and submit a full report about the violence to the leadership. "A high level delegation of our party's central leadership will visit Birbhum on October 30 and submit a full-fledged report on the violence and terror that led to the killing of three persons to the party high command and also to the central government," BJP state president Rahul Sinha said.

Three persons were killed and as many injured, and at least five houses were set on fire when Trinamool Congress and BJP supporters fought a gun battle at Makra village in Birbhum district on Monday. Sinha said the state government should award compensation of Rs 10 lakh each to the kin of those killed and Rs 2 lakh each to the family of those injured. Sinha claimed that most of the clash victims were members of BJP.

"They have attacked Makra as the entire village consists of BJP supporters. The terror tactics of TMC won't work any more in Bengal. The minorities too have started realising the true face of TMC," Sinha said.
A BJP team was in the district yesterday to visit Chakmondola, where the officer-in-charge of Parui police station was attacked during a raid on October 24.
Sinha said after he gets a full report from the members of the team who visited Birbhum yesterday, he will call up Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and inform him about the incident. 

"Our Party president Amit Shah, General Secretary J P Nadda has called us to inquire about the incident. I have informed them in details. Today I will call up Rajnath Singh and give him full details, after our state team which went to Birbhum submits its report," Sinha said.
On Monday a team of state BJP leaders, including actor George Baker, former top police official R K Mohanti and the party's state vice-president Subhas Sarkar, was not allowed by the police to visit Chakmondola on the ground that prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC were in force there.

Sinha on Tuesday lashed out at the Trinamool Congress-led state government for using the police administration as "mute spectators" in the entire incident. "The TMC talks of secularism and calls us communal. Then how should we call the genocide that Trinamool Congress committed yesterday in Makra, where all those who died were from the minority community? Tomorrow I will visit the CEO's office and submit a deputation and ask the Election Commission to declare TMC as a violent and a terrorist party," Sinha said. The state BJP unit on Tuesday took out a silent rally in the heart of Kolkata to protest against the killings.
