NEW DELHI: Two tribal women were stripped naked and tortured a few days ago in West Bengal, alleged Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday.The BJP also claimed that police remained a mute spectator.
"The horror continues in West Bengal.
Two Tribal women were stripped naked, tortured and beaten mercilessly, while police remained a mute spectator in Pakua Hat area of Bamangola Police Station, Malda," BJP's I-T department head Amit Malviya said in a twitter post.Malviya claimed that the incident took place in Malda on July 19, with a 'frenzied mob baying for her blood'.He also posted a video with blurred images of the crime."It had all the making of a tragedy that should have broken Mamata Banerjees heart and she, instead of merely outraging, could have acted, since she is also the home minister of Bengal But she chose to do nothing," Malvia added in a tweet.The opposition parties have been targeting the BJP over the incident of two women being paraded naked in ethnic violence-hit Manipur, where it is in power.Slamming Banerjee, Malviya said she chose to do nothing in the case.
"Neither did she condemn the barbarity nor did she express pain and anguish because it would have exposed her own failing as a chief minister," he said.
