The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has constituted a committee comprising four Members of Parliament to probe into recent communal violence that had taken place in Odisha’s Sambalpur town.
The four members Brijlal, Rajya Sabha MP from Uttar Pradesh, Samir Oraon and Aditya Sahoo, Rajya Sabha MPs from Jharkhand and Jyotirmaya Singh Mahato, MP of Purulia from West Bengal have been asked to visit Sambalpur and submit a fact-based report to BJP President J. P. Nadda.
The constitution of a probe team came close on the heels of recent visit of National Commission for Scheduled Tribes member Anant Nayak to Sambalpur to meet the family of the youth killed during the violence.
