Bengal MPs To Meet PM Modi On Wednesday To Discuss Birbhum, Law And Order

The BJP, which lost face hugely after the Mamata Banerjee government's landslide victory in Bengal last year, has been targeting the state government since the Birbhum killings.
The BJP MPs from Bengal are expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi over breakfast on Wednesday to discuss the law an order situation in Bengal in the aftermath of the massacre in Birbhum. The ruckus that followed in the Bengal assembly will also be discussed, sources said.
The meeting, sources said, will take place at PM Modi's house in New Delhi. The Prime Minister has already condemned the Birbhum killings, underscoring the need for the Mamata Banerjee government to catch the culprits.
Six women and two children -- mostly of members of a single family -- were beaten and burnt alive by a mob at the Bogtui village near Birbhum's Rampurhat town last week.
The attack was allegedly retaliation to the murder of a local Trinamool Congress leader, Bhadu Sheikh, who died in a bomb attack. Around 20 people have been arrested in the case.
