Udaipur Killing: TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee alleged BJP’s direct links to the murder

News Desk: Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday alleged that BJP has direct links to the gruesome murder in Udaipur and said the saffron party is “spewing” hatred to divide the nation.

Banerjee in a tweet attached two photos of one of the accused in the brutal killing of the tailor, Kanhaiya Lal in the Rajasthan city. The accused is seen allegedly in the company of local BJP leaders at functions held in the past.

Hitting out at the saffron party, the TMC leader tweeted “No, they (BJP) don’t want unity. No, they don’t want harmony. No, they don’t want democracy. They want to divide the nation” the TMC leader tweeted.

“Responsible for spewing hate, unleashing propaganda and divisive politics, @BJP4India is directly linked to the gruesome #UdaipurHorror, See for yourself” he wrote and shared the photos.

In the photos one of the accused in the murder is seen with an elderly local BJP leader wearing a saffron turban and sporting a scarf with its lotus symbol on it. At least three others in the photo are seen to be wearing similar scarves. In another group photo the accused is seen posing with a group of men all flaunting saffron scarves.
