RSS worker killed

An RSS worker in Murshidabad in West Bengal along with his pregnant wife and an eight-year-old child were killed on Wednesday. This led to a protest march by the BJP and RSS on Thursday. According to reports, the RSS and the BJP have alleged that the worker along with his family were killed due to free-hand given to culprits under TMC's rule. They further questioned the law and order situation in West Bengal under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. BJP Member of Parliament Babul Supriyo tweeted, "In which direction is Bengal moving? Does 'Maa' 'Maati' 'Manush' (human) mean anything to you? Did we want this Bengal? On one hand we worship Durga and Kali Maa, and on the other hand, we put a mother and her child to death."
