PTI, RAIGANJ: Police on Sunday arrested BJP North Dinajpur district president Shankar Chakraborty from Domohana area here for making provocative comments against security forces.
Chakraborty was held while he was on his way to Raiganj from Islampur, DM Arvind Kumar Meena said. The BJP leader, while addressing villagers earlier in the day, asked them to take action against security forces in North Dinajpur, where two students died in a clash with police over teachers’ recruitment in a high school.
He also suggested putting up barricades to prevententry of police personnel in the area. “If there is any police action, retaliate. No compromise with them. Do not cooperate with them. If the situation demands, tie the police personnel to trees and beat them up.
“Don’t give water to police. Better give water to a dog. If children or family members of policemen are found injured on the road, don’t take them to hospital,” he said at a public rally here.
