Masked men ransack, loot TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee’s office in Kolkata
TMC lawmaker Abhishek Banerjee alleged that police did not respond for at least two hours and blamed the ruling BJP for the attack
A Trinamool Congress (TMC) party office was allegedly targeted in an early morning attack, leading senior party representative Abhishek Banerjee to call for authorities to take action. The accusations were made public via Banerjee's account on the social media platform X, where he alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was behind the "violence, vandalism and intimidation" against the Opposition in West Bengal.
Banerjee posed a series of pointed questions, wondering if the Governor of West Bengal, the Union Home Minister and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) would intervene. "This is what the BJP has done to my party office in the early hours of this morning. Will the Governor of WB act? Will the Union Home Minister act? Will the PMO act?
Or will they continue to look the other way?" Banerjee's remarks also highlighted the need for judicial intervention, specifically the Calcutta High Court, to uphold the rule of law in the state.
