BJP President Amit Shah has constituted a four-member committee to visit Asansol, one of the areas hit by communal violence during the Ram Navami procession across the state of West Bengal.

The four-member committee, formed by the BJP chief, comprises the party's national vice president Om Mathur, spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain and two MPs – Roopa Ganguly and VD Ram.

Shah condemned the violence in Asansol in West Bengal, and said, "such incidents are unfortunate and painful.”

The committee members will visit the state and submit a report to Shah, the statement said.

Earlier, the BJP had hit out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the incidents of violence in the state, and accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo of doing politics while the state was burning.

A clash had broken out between two groups over a Ram Navami procession at Raniganj, near Asansol, on Monday. One person was allegedly hacked to death while a deputy commissioner of police had lost a hand after being hit by a bomb.
