Congress MP Pramod Tiwari launched a strong critique against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for alleged violent attacks on Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders, including Abhishek Banerjee and Kalyan Banerjee. Tiwari characterized these incidents as 'hooliganism' and expressed concern over police inaction during the attacks. He emphasized that political violence has no place in a democracy. In response to the violence, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee announced plans for a protest in Kolkata, asserting the party's right to demonstrate and warning that intimidation would not weaken the TMC. Meanwhile, BJP leader Locket Chatterjee dismissed the TMC's organizational strength, claiming the party is finished. The situation escalated as police arrested five individuals in connection with the attacks, with investigations ongoing. The political tensions in West Bengal continue to rise as the TMC prepares for its protest.
