Reacting to Trinamool Congress leader Akhil Giri's disrespectful remarks on female Forest Officer, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Soumendu Adhikari said that the "atrocities and objectionable comments" on women have become TMC's culture.

"This is not the first time. Akhil Giri has made objectionable comments on our President (Droupadi Murmu) also. He should not have done that. The atrocities and objectionable comments on women have become TMC's culture. They have said objectionable things about PM Modi and the Union Home Minister. It is their culture to threaten people," Adhikari told ANI on Sunday.

In the purported video of the incident posted on X by the BJP West Bengal, Giri was seen threatening an on-duty woman forest officer.

"West Bengal Minister Akhil Giri threatened a lady Forest Officer because she was performing her duty to remove illegal encroachment in forest areas. Will Mamata Banerjee dare to throw out this Minister and put him behind bars? Will charges be filed against him for obstructing government workers and outraging the modesty of women? Let's see if this goon is kicked inside the jail for threatening to indirectly kill and outrage the modesty of a woman," BJP West Bengal posted on X.

On Sunday, CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya stated that Akhil Giri should have been sacked rather than given credit for resigning.

Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya said, "Akhil Giri should have been sacked. What he has done is illegal and in violation of the law. Akhil Giri should have been arrested by the police because he had committed a cognizable offence. In the presence of police officials, he prevented government employees on duty from discharging their duties and abused her."

He further mentioned that the police should have arrested Giri immediately. Giri, who quit under party pressure, refused to apologize to the official he abused. (ANI)
