Kolkata: Two FIRs were today lodged
against West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh for making
alleged "instigating statements" which could incite violence
in the state, police said.
According to Kolkata police officials, two FIRs were
lodged - one at Hare Street police station and another at
Gariahat police station against Ghosh for his comments on
Friday after BJP's youth wing Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha
(BJYM) had clashed with TMC activists in the city.
"Two persons had lodged the FIRs as they felt that
such statements could disturb peace and instigate communal
violence in the state," said a Kolkata police official.
Ghosh had said on Friday that the law and order
situation in the state has "collapsed completely" in the
state.
When asked, Ghosh said "These are baseless complaints.
I have never made any such comments. These are cheap tricks of
TMC to stop BJP as they are frightened by our growth,".
Several people were injured on Friday after clashes
broke out between BJP and Trinamool Congress activists outside
the former's headquarters here and at another place in the
city.
