Karma always haunts, says BJP after high court order

NEW DELHI: As the Calcutta high court on Thursday ordered a court-monitored CBI inquiry into post-poll violence cases, allegedly including murders and crime against women, leaders of BJP claimed it was vindication of their claim that its cadres were subjected to large scale atrocities by TMC activists with full support of the state machinery. While the party’s national general secretary (organisation) said “satyameva jayate”, I&B minister Anurag Thakur said there should not be a place for violence in democracy.
“...Court monitored CBI probe into all murder and rape cases and SIT probe headed by retd Supreme Court just about all other violence cases. Satyamev Jayate ....!!! Karma always haunts,” BJP general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh tweeted.
At a press conference, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said the only aim of the party was to bring justice to the families of the victims as West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee was not able to prevent the post-poll violence in the state, nor was she able to bring justice to the victims.
“Welcome Calcutta HC’s judgment ordering CBI probe into the murder and rape orchestrated in West Bengal post the poll,” Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan said and added, “West Bengal police has already exposed its allegiance to the TMC and cannot be trusted to provide justice for the heinous atrocities and barbarism, that was inflicted upon countless women and children for exercising their democratic rights.”
The Calcutta HC on Thursday ordered court-monitored CBI probe into alleged into murder, rape cases during post-poll violence in West Bengal and asked the central agency to file report by six weeks.
