The Rajya Sabha witnessed adjournment on Friday as Trinamool Congress members trooped into the well to protest BJP member Roopa Ganguly’s emotional statement where she demanded President’s rule in West Bengal after eight persons, including two children, were burnt to death in Birbhum district on March 22.
Ms. Ganguly broke down in tears as she mentioned the Rampurhat killings during Zero Hour in the House.
“Those killed were not mere numbers. Eight have been killed and four admitted in a hospital where there is no burns unit. The point is that they were burnt to death, illegal weapons are stored, no trust in police, when Anis Khan is killed, they only demand a CBI enquiry….within four days, 26 political murders have taken place [in West Bengal],” she said.
