BJP's Suvendu Adhikari visits clash-hit Mothabari in Bengal's Malda

Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Friday visited Mothabari area in West Bengal's Malda district and met some families that were affected by recent clashes between two groups.

Adhikar said he had to take the Calcutta High Court's nod to visit Mothabari after not receiving any reply to his communications to the district police superintendent for visiting the affected places.

"Keep faith in the law," Adhikari told the affected families, while asking them to stay united. The BJP leader also gave away monetary aid and other relief materials to the families affected by the clashes that took place in the last week of March.


Violence erupted in Mothabari after a religious procession passed by a place of worship, spiralling into arson, vandalism and physical attacks on people.
