A district BJP leader on Sunday courted controversy after he asked people to take action against security forces in North Dinajpur, where two students died in a clash with police over teachers' recruitment in a high school.
Addressing villagers, North Dinajpur BJP president Shankar Chakraborty suggested putting up barricades to prevent entry of police personnel in the area.
"If there is any police action, retaliate. No compromise with them. Do not cooperate with them," he said at a public rally here.
Chakraborty also threatened to pitch for the transfer of Superintendent of Police Sumit Kumar from the district, if he "remained inactive" and failed to take action against the culprits of the incident, which took place on Thursday.
Locals have alleged that the two, who were former students of the school, were killed in police firing but Kumar had said the police did not open fire.

The SP had, however, admitted that the students had received bullet injuries and said the police were investigating who had opened fire.
The parents of the two students have said their cremation would be done only after a CBI probe is ordered into the incident.
The BJP has called a 12-hour shutdown in West Bengal on September 26 to protest the death of the students.
