The Trinamool Congress (TMC) women’s wing staged a massive protest rally in Kolkata against alleged derogatory remarks made by BJP leaders targeting West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The rally, led by state finance minister Chandrima Bhattacharya, covered 2.4 km from Triangular Park to Hazra More, with TMC Mahila Morcha members chanting slogans condemning the remarks.
🔴 Key Highlights:
- TMC leaders accused BJP of vilifying a democratically elected woman CM, calling the remarks defamatory and unacceptable.
- West Bengal Minister Shashi Panja stated, “Humiliating Mamata Banerjee is equivalent to humiliating every woman in this state. That’s why we are protesting.”.
- BJP countered the protest, pointing to a recent audio clip allegedly featuring TMC leader Anubrata Mondal using abusive language, questioning the integrity of the rally.
📢 Political Reactions:
- BJP MP Locket Chatterjee dismissed the protest, saying, “TMC should first clean its own house before accusing others.”.
- Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim acknowledged Mondal’s remarks were inappropriate but clarified that TMC does not endorse them.
⚠️ Growing Political Tensions:
- The controversy stems from PM Modi’s recent speech in Alipurduar, where he referenced Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory strike on terror camps in Pakistan.
- TMC leaders claim BJP is using personal attacks to divert attention from governance issues.
