Bengal Flogging

BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla today slammed the Mamata government over another alleged flogging incident in West Bengal, asking whether Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders will visit the victim.

Days after the public flogging of a couple in West Bengal drew massive criticism, the ruling party has waded into a controversy - this time involving a top aide of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi - speaking in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday - targeted the opposition over "selective politics" with regard to atrocities against women, with reference to cases of flogging from Bengal.

Police on Wednesday arrested another person for his alleged involvement in the public flogging of a couple in Chopra in West Bengal's Uttar Dinajpur district, an officer said.

The ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal on Tuesday issued a show cause notice to its Chopra MLA Hamidul Rahman for making statements supporting the public flogging of a couple that rocked the state.

Under fire over the chilling incident of mob justice in north Bengal's Chopra, the ruling Trinamool Congress has said it has a zero tolerance policy on such crimes and launched a counterstrike by drawing parallels with BJP-ruled states
