BJP suspends minority leader in Assam
BJP has suspended a leader of its Assam state executive committee belonging to the minority community for voicing support for Rohingya refugees.
A few days ago Benazir Arfan had uploaded a post on Facebook requesting people to attend a fast in protest against the treatment meted out to the Rohingyas by the Myanmar government.
The post generated controversy in the BJP circles as the saffron party's governments in the Centre and in Assam are against allowing entry of the Rohingyas to India.
On Thursday, BJP's state unit sent a letter to Arfan suspending her from the party with immediate effect and giving her three days time to explain why disciplinary action should not be initiated against her.
