Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee faced a violent attack while visiting Sonarpur in West Bengal on Saturday, where he intended to meet families impacted by post-poll violence. During his visit, he was pelted with eggs and stones, allegedly by BJP workers who shouted slogans against him. Security personnel quickly intervened, providing him with a helmet for protection. Following the incident, Banerjee accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating the attack, declaring it a reflection of their version of democracy. He highlighted the serious nature of the assault, claiming that the attackers intended to harm him and that the entire incident was recorded on camera. Banerjee criticized the lack of police presence, noting that his calls for assistance went unanswered despite prior notification of his visit. He vowed to seek legal recourse, stating he would inform the High Court and the Governor about the attack. The incident has intensified the already charged political climate in West Bengal following recent assembly elections.
