TMC writes to President, Bengal governor over 'utter lawlessness' after Abhishek Banerjee's Kolkata office ransacked
This comes after the office of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee was allegedly ransacked and looted by unidentified men early Thursday.
The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) has penned a letter to President Droupadi Murmu and West Bengal Governor RN Ravi, expressing their desire to meet with AITC delegations to expose alleged lawlessness and the misuse of police power by the BJP in West Bengal. This request follows the alleged ransacking of the Kolkata office of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee.
CCTV footage purportedly shows masked men entering the seventh-floor office on Camac Street, stealing electronic equipment like a television and gadgets. Banerjee shared the video on X, stating, "This is what the BJP has done to my party office." He questioned whether West Bengal Governor RN Ravi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Office would act on the incident.
Banerjee also urged the judiciary, specifically the Calcutta High Court, to address "violence, vandalism, and intimidation" in the state. He directly accused West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari of intimidation, questioning why he seemed "scared of the Trinamool Congress and of me." Banerjee demanded that the Chief Minister resign, stating that if opposition is treated with violence and intimidation in West Bengal, the Chief Minister has no moral authority to remain in office.
