West Bengal minister hurt in bomb attack

West Bengal CID has taken over the case in which state Labour Minister Jakir Hossain suffered injuries after unidentified people hurled a bomb at him in Murshidabad on Wednesday. The Minister received injuries in one hand and one leg but his condition is stable and out of danger, according to a doctor.

The Minister suffered injuries after unidentified persons hurled crude bombs at him while he was walking towards Nimtita Railway station to board the train for Kolkata.

Railways Minister Piyush Goyal and BJP National General Secretary and Central Observer for West Bengal Kailash Vijayvargiya condemned the attack and wished quick recovery of the injured.

“I strongly condemn the crude bomb attack on TMC minister Jakir Hossain at Nimtita railway station, Murshidabad. I pray for his speed recovery,” Mr Vijayvargiya said in a tweet.

Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar termed the attack on Jakir Hossain “reprehensible” and expressed concerns over rising violence in the state.

Mr Dhankhar said that time has come for the West Bengal Home administration and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to act fast as per law, stating that there is no place for violence in a democracy.
