CPM blames Dispur, BJP for BTAD riot

The CPI(M) blamed it all on Dispur for failing to prevent the ethnic clashes in BTAD areas and Dhubri. The party further accused BJP of trying to give the clashes a communal colour. Talking to reporters on Sunday, CPM leader Uddhab Barman said that the state government failed to act on time when the first incidents of attack took place on July 19 and 20. He refuted allegations made by Advani and others that Bangladeshi immigrants are behind the violence.
