Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the Birbhum violence which broke out in West Bengal a day ago and killed as many as eight people. Modi also offered to extend all possible help from the Union government to the Mamata Banerjee-led Bengal government with regards to the case.
“I express my condolences over Birbhum violence, WB. Whatever help is needed to book culprits, I assure all possible help from Centre to State. I hope state govt takes strict action against culprits, & those who encourage such criminals should not be forgiven too,” news agency ANI quoted Modi as saying.
Eight persons, including children, were burnt to death after a few houses were set on fire following the killing of a TMC panchayat leader at Rampurhat in West Bengal’s Birbhum district on Monday late night
