School children of J K Nagar in Jemari, West Bengal have filed a complaint with the police saying their ‘Babul Supriyo Uncle’, the Asansol member of Parliament from the Bharatiya Janata Party and Bollywood singer, has gone ‘missing’ since the election last month.
The children, who are students of different schools of the area, filed the police complaint in English with Nimcha police outpost on Wednesday morning and even put their signatures in English and Hindi in the complaint.
In their complaint, the children said ‘Babul Supriyo Uncle’ had promised them before the election that he would be with the people and sing with them but he has gone ‘missing’. They were accompanied by some of their guardians.
Burdwan district industrial area BJP president Nirmal Karmakar blamed the Trinamool Congress of being behind the filing of this complaint. “TMC earlier used to criticise Communist Party of India (Marxist) for using children for political purposes and now it is doing the same. This is despicable and dirty politics.”
TMC, he said, had filed cases against Babul Supriyo before the polls, even one under the Arms Act but all were proved false. When contacted, Supriyo over the phone from Delhi that this was being ‘masterminded’ by TMC.
“I want to tell my friends and followers that I have not gone missing. I am very much in Delhi and will go to Asansol on June 26. I have submitted a project to solve the water problem in the industrial area and will work for its early solution.”
TMC's Tapas Bandopadhyay said he did not understand why his party was blamed for the incident. He said “BJP is doing this with the aim to make itself popular”.
