A cabinet minister in the Mamata government in West Bengal, Firhad Hakim, incites people to beat the CISF personnel and the BJP workers.
Hakim asked people to hit security forces and the BJP workers while campaigning in West Bengal.
The video of the campaign has gone viral.
Earlier, Hakim has raked up controversy for terming a part of Kolkata as ‘Mini Pakistan’.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had also people to gherao the security forces in one of her campaign speeches.
Immediately after, five people were killed in Coochbehar when CISF personnel on duty fired in self-defense after more than 300 TMC supporters gheraoed the CISF personnel on poll duty.
In the viral video, Hakim could be seen using expletives for the BJP workers as well as the security forces.
The Election Commission had ordered massive deployment of central security forces on the request of the opposition parties in West Bengal to ensure a free and fair poll.
Five of the eight phases of the voting are already over in the state. The counting of votes will start on May 2.
