KOLKATA: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has sought an urgent report from the West Bengal government on the brutal attack on BJP's Lok Sabha member Khagen Murmu.
This was informed by Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju while speaking to reporters at Siliguri in North Bengal on Tuesday.
"The attack on the MP and MLA reflects the environment that Trinamool Congress has built here. This is unfortunate. The Lok Sabha Speaker has served a notice, and the West Bengal government will present a report. What action needs to be taken can be spoken about only after getting the details, " Union Minister Rijiju said.
The Union Minister reached North Bengal earlier in the day to take stock of the damage caused by heavy rain and landslides. He will also visit several landslide-affected places in the Darjeeling hills.
