On Monday, Mitali Bag, a Member of Parliament from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), experienced a violent attack on her convoy in Arambagh, West Bengal, while en route to a rally led by TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee. The TMC has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating this 'brutal' attack, claiming that it was a direct response to threats made by BJP leader Amit Shah. The TMC's statement highlighted that Bag, who represents the Scheduled Caste community, was injured when her car was vandalized, and glass shards pierced her body.
