TMC: Probe ‘BJP links’ with Udaipur killer, J-K terrorist

Kolkata: Accusing the BJP of using its “members” to fan communal violence in the country ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the Trinamool Congress on Tuesday demanded a judicial probe into the alleged links of the saffron party with the main accused
in the Udaipur tailor’s murder case and a terrorist nabbed in Kashmir
recently.
The TMC shared photographs of BJP leaders with the terrorist arrested in Srinagar and the prime accused in the murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur and asked what relations the BJP has with them.
PTI could not independently verify the authenticity of the pictures shared by the ruling party of West Bengal. “Recently, we witnessed how comments made by a BJP leader have led to violence across the country. The BJP leadership had claimed they are fringe elements. But the reality is they are not fringe elements but part of the greater design of the saffron camp to spread communal disharmony,” TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh told a press conference.
As a result of that, one man was murdered in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, and that incident was streamed live, he claimed.
“Later, it was found that Riaz Attari, the prime accused in killing the Udaipur tailor, was also a BJP member. This only proves how the BJP is using its members to fan communal violence in the country ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls,” Ghosh said, showing a few photographs of Attari with BJP leaders.
Senior TMC leader and minister Shashi Panja alleged that terrorist Talib Shah, who was arrested in Srinagar, has BJP links.
