Should they be given Prasad? Those who vandalized public property will be identified. First, they will be shot and then bombed. Nobody will be spared," Ghosh said.The MP from Kharagpur was attending an event in support of the newly amended citizenship law here.Ghosh had, last week, sparked controversy by threatening to shoot down those who damaged public property and accused Banerjee of not taking action as "they are her voters".Several protests were held across West Bengal, many of which turned violent and caused damage to public property.
