West Bengal LoP Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday met the injured people at the hospitals who participated in the 'Nabanna Abhiyan' in Kolkata and assured all possible help.
"Today I went to meet Shri Timir Sarkar and Shri Sanjit Biswas and others at the hospitals where they are admitted and receiving treatment for their injuries. They participated in the Nabanna Abhiyan yesterday and were roughed up by the Mamata Police for no fault of theirs. The Police without any provocation lathi charged them and unfortunately, they sustained serious injuries," Adhikari posted on X. "I enquired about their well-being and assured them of any possible help that they require," he added. On Wednesday, Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar staged a sit-in protest on the road at Baguiati in Kolkata during the 12-hour 'Bengal Bandh' called by BJP in Bengal. Majumdar also wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for advocating violence and said that "shamelessly inciting gathering" by West Bengal CM is nothing less than a blatant endorsement of revenge politics from the highest office in the state. In his letter, the Union Minister called for "immediate attention" against the statements made by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during her address to the Student Wing of TMC today in Kolkata. Majumder further stated that she "shamelessly incited gathering" and declared that she "never sought revenge, but now, do what needs to be done." "This is nothing less than a blatant endorsement of revenge politics from the highest office in the state," he said. BJP called for a '12 hour Bengal Bandh' after Kolkata police resorted to lathi charges, the use of water cannons and tear gas against the protestors in Nabnna Abhiyaan' Rally. The rally termed "Nabanna Abhiyan" started from the College Square in the capital of West Bengal, amid heightened security around the West Bengal state secretariat with protestors gathering at the Santragachi area in Howrah. On August 27, chaos broke out in the streets of Kolkata. Security personnel lobbed tear gas shells, used water cannons and resorted to lathi-charge to disperse protestors on the Howrah Bridge marching towards the West Bengal State Secretariat Nabanna, amidst the growing protests over the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder case. The murder and alleged sexual assault of a female trainee doctor on August 9 at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital caused national outrage and many rallies have been held in different states of the country.
