The West Bengal government team would soon visit Delhi to take up with the Centre the issue of attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Finance Minister Amit Mitra during a protest in the national capital.
"A ministerial-level delegation from the state will soon leave here for Delhi after the chief minister fully recovers," state's Industry Minister Partha Chatterjee said here today.
Describing the incident as "most unfortunate and pre- planned", Chatterjee said "we demanded an inquiry into the incident at secretary-level, but it failed to yield any result and there was no arrest as yet."
