The police had to fire tear gas shells to control the crowds. Mr Pramanik is an MP from Cooch Behar.
“If a central minister’s car is attacked in this manner, then think about the security of the common people in the state,” Bengal BJP spokesperson Shamik Bhattacharya said, adding that the Governor should initiate steps to impose Article 355 in the state.

“Instead of trying to control those who attacked my convoy, the police used tear gas shells against our supporters,” he alleged.
