Lok Sabha seeks report from Home Ministry on attack on BJP MP in West Bengal

New Delhi: The Lok Sabha secretariat on Tuesday sought a factual note within three days from the Union Home Ministry on the attack on BJP MP Khagen Murmu in West Bengal.

Murmu and BJP MLA Sankar Ghosh were injured in an attack by a mob during their visit to the flood and landslide-hit Dooars region in the northern part of West Bengal on Monday.

Parliament officials said the Lok Sabha secretariat has written to the Ministry of Home Affairs to forward a 'Factual Note' in the matter from the state government of West Bengal within three days.

The attack on Murmu, the Lok Sabha member from Maldaha, took place during his visit to the flood-hit areas in Jalpaiguri's Dooars region to oversee relief and rescue operations.
