Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister on Saturday, April 6, defended the attack on NIA officers saying that the protest happened as the NIA team entered the area without informing the local police. Officers of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) were attacked in Purba Medinipur district on Saturday while carrying out a probe in connection with Bhupatinagar blast case.
“Why did they raid at midnight? Did they have police permission? Locals reacted in the way they would have if any other stranger had visited the place at midnight. Why are they arresting people right before the elections? What does the BJP think, that they will arrest every booth agent? What right does NIA have? They are doing all these to support the BJP. We call upon the entire world to fight against this BJP’s dirty politics,” said Mamata Banerjee.
