"Under Trinamool Congress the police can't function impartially. We request you to look into the matter so that both Trinamool leader Arabul Islam and CPI(M) leader Rezzak Mollah are booked under the law for creating and inciting violence," the BJP said in a memorandum to Narayanan.

"We request you to see that army is deployed in Bhagore area in order to contain the violence that is taking place among both the parties," the memorandum said.

The BJP also requested the governor to convince the state government to initiate a CBI inquiry into the self immolation of Mir Aminul Islam, after being harassed by the police when he took a rape victim to file a complaint.
