BJP's West Bengal president Dilip Ghosh on Sunday held the Trinamool Congress government responsible for the ongoing unrest in different parts of the state and demanded the withdrawal of the amended Citizenship Act.
Describing the agitators as "Bangladeshi infiltrators", Ghosh also criticised the role of the police alleging they were sitting idle despite witnessing the ongoing vandalism.
"This is an absolute creation by the Trinamool Congress in a pre-planned manner. If they had wanted, then it would have stopped within two days like it has in Assam," Ghosh told reporters.
Asked whether he would give any message to those who were disrupting peace in the state, Ghosh said, "You cannot give out peace messages for those who are responsible for this unrest.
These are Bangladeshi infiltrators. We need to put up resistance against them."
