Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee has alleged an attack on his home in Kolkata following a clash between his party’s workers and the BJP workers last night during his birthday celebration.
Someone else suffered a fracture to the bone beneath their eye. They threw stones and bricks. “Yet there has been no police action and no judicial intervention. If this is what can happen to an elected Member of Parliament, imagine the plight of the common man in West Bengal. Who authorised this surveillance and for what purpose?
Because the judiciary continues to turn a blind eye, hooligans are running riot across the state.
“One of our colleagues, Tapas, had the tissue near his thumb crushed; I sent him to the hospital for stitches, but the doctor said stitches wouldn’t suffice; he will require plastic surgery. All of this unfolded right in front of the police,” Banerjee told the media. The MP said that it wasn’t the first time he was attacked. In a post on X, the Trinamool MP said that this was the seventh attempt on his life in the last six months. Thank you, Calcutta High Court and the Supreme Court of India, for remaining mute spectators while all this unfolds,” he said. Questioning the alleged involvement of the state police, he said, “Why is the State Police allegedly spying on and snooping around the office and residence of an elected Member of Parliament? Banerjee said he was bringing the matter to the attention of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Kolkata Police, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and West Bengal Police.
If anyone creates a nuisance at night, then protest is expected. Who has the time to kill Abhishek Banerjee? There is nothing left, so attempts are being made to mislead people by using emotional rhetoric.”
Bengal BJP minister Dilip Ghosh said, “The first time we are seeing birthday celebration on a leader being celebrated on footpath!
