Mamata Banerjee, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal, has made serious allegations against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that they pressured private hospitals not to admit her nephew, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, after he was attacked in Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas. During a visit to the family of a deceased TMC worker, Abhishek faced aggressive protests, leading to stone-pelting and other forms of violence. In a viral video, Mamata is seen reprimanding the hospital's CEO for allegedly yielding to political pressure, stating that the hospital's actions were shameful and threatening. She claimed that doctors indicated serious injuries, yet the CEO reported receiving threats from police and BJP leaders. The BJP has countered these claims, suggesting Mamata's actions were an attempt to evade a CID summons regarding a forgery case. Following the incident, police arrested five individuals connected to the attack, while the BJP maintains that the public response was spontaneous and not orchestrated.
