New Delhi: Reacting to the incidents of post-poll violence in West Bengal, Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Jharkhand and senior leader Dhiraj Prasad Sahu on Thursday said that violence is not good for democracy and should be stopped immediately.
"It is a matter of joy that TMC has won in Bengal. All opposition parties are happy but killing people or beating them is not fair anywhere," he said.
"Overcurrent situation, BJP supporters are demanding President's rule in Bengal. If President's rule imposed right after TMC government is formed in the state them it will not give a good impression," DP Sahu stated.
