BJP leaders had alleged that instances of violence have risen during the reign of Mamata-led government.
Following communal tension at Dhulagarh in Howrah district of West Bengal since last week, a team of three BJP Central leaders will visit the violence affected area and meet the families of victims.
The team will comprise of Lok Sabha MPs Jagdambika Pal and Satyapal Singh. Rajya Sabha MP Roopa Ganguly was supposed to be the third member of the team but had been excluded because of her health conditions. She had fallen sick suddenly and had been admitted to AMRI Hospital. State BJP president Dilip Ghosh will also accompany them. "There had been serious communal disturbances in the area which the Centre has been apprised of and now the party national president Amit Shah wants a team to visit the place and take stock of the situation.
Members of the team will visit the place, meet family members of the affected and later prepare a report and send it to the Centre. "We had earlier met the Governor regarding this and told him about the violence there. He had summoned the Director General of Police Surajit Kar Purkayastha on Thursday and questioned him regarding the instance of violence," Ghosh said talking to DNA.
A statement released on Thursday by the governor house said that the governor had asked the DGP to ensure peace in the area and to take strict action against offenders.
He also added over 150 families have been rendered homeless owing to the violence. Criticising the role of the state and administration he said, "The votebank policy of Mamata Banerjee has led the police and administration to be mere spectators of the massacre. She tries to derive political dividend out of almost everything." He added that media has been kept away from the place and that people were furious at the role of the government. "Those who have lost lakhs were given Rs 35,000 as compensation cheques. They had protested against it," Ghosh added. The team would reach Dhulagarh on Saturday at about 1 pm.

The Dhulagarh violence had sparked off last week when members of two communities had clashed when a procession by members of one community was taken out. Sources said that they started hurling bombs at each other and Howrah Police had to resort to lathi charge, fire tear gas shells and use water canon to bring the situation under control.
