Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee is likely to raise the issue of the alleged attack on him in West Bengal with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and may also explore legal options, according to party sources.
The TMC had earlier questioned whether the Speaker would condemn the incident.
Abhishek was allegedly attacked with bricks, stones and eggs on Saturday while visiting the residence of a purported victim of post-poll violence in Sonarpur town of South 24 Parganas district. The TMC national general secretary sustained injuries to his eye and later alleged that BJP activists had attempted to kill him.
Five persons have been arrested in connection with the incident so far.
Taking a swipe at the BJP, Abhishek described himself as a victim of political violence and "state-sponsored terrorism" allegedly unleashed by those who claim to be the guardians of nationalism.
The attack drew condemnation from several Opposition parties, including the Congress, the Samajwadi Party and the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
The TMC alleged that standards of public discourse and political conduct had deteriorated under BJP rule. The party also claimed that the attack on Abhishek was being closely watched not only across the country but also internationally.
Responding to the allegations, West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya said such incidents had no place in a healthy democracy, while maintaining that his party had no involvement in the attack.
West Bengal minister Dilip Ghosh also condemned the assault on Abhishek Banerjee but said the incident reflected growing public anger against the former ruling party.
The attack comes amid heightened political tensions in West Bengal following the Assembly elections, which saw the BJP secure a decisive victory, winning 207 seats and forming its first government in the state.
