Rijiju who is on a visit to North Bengal said in Jalpaiguri today, “We spoke on the attack on the MP and MLA in North Bengal. The Lok Sabha Speaker sent a notice and sought a report from the State Government yesterday. If there is a delay in the report, we will take action under the Privilege Motion. Action will be taken as per rules. This is not just about MP-MLA, every citizen must be given security.”
“I have come here to assess the damages in the hilly areas due to rainfall and floods. On behalf of the Prime Minister, I have come to meet the flood-affected people and the families of those who died. I will report to the PM after assessing the damage,” he said.
