“They will talk to locals and will also try to meet the Chief secretary of the state. Next day they will submit their complete report to Amit Shahji,” BJP National Secretary Siddharth Nath Singh told PTI.

Singh said the party will also approach the National Human Rights Commission and will also move the union Home Ministry regarding the recent communal riots in the state.

Singh alleged that the minority wing leaders of Trinamool Congress were targeting members of one community, especially in six districts where BJP has grown.

A week long clash between two groups was reported in Dhulagarh following a procession in the area on November 13.
