A BJP-led delegation on Tuesday was stopped to SandeshKhali in Basirhat. BJP state president Sukanta Mazumder and other party workers were stopped by the police from visiting the violent-hit areas.
Many BJP workers have been detained and have been injured after a face off with the cops. They were stopped near the Superintendent of Police office of Basirhat. As per the media sources, the police have resorted to lathicharging to disperse BJP workers marching towards Sandeshkhali.
Sukanta Majumdar was attacked while his security personnel was injured. Incidents of stone pelting were reported in Basirhat with the police pelting stones back at the protestors.
Mamata Banerjee’s government suffered a huge setback as the Calcutta High Court repealed the Section 144 order in Sandeshkhali. Many BJP leaders including Union Minister Smriti Irani, said that prohibitory orders under Section 144 were put in place to stop the horror of Sandeshkhali from spilling out.
This is 8th day of the protests led by locals against the regional Trinamool Congress brass to demand the arrest of missing TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his associates for spreading terror.
Women in Sandeshkhali told that many from Trinamool would visit their houses and pick them up in the middle of the night.
The women revealed on camera, ‘They would keep us there in the party offices till the time they were satisfied. They would even told our husbands that we are their property.
Few women said that they were identified by their shakha polas (Bangles worn by Hindu married women) and targeted along religious lines.
Both SC/ST Commission and the National Commission of Women have taken suo-motu cognizance of the case and have written to the Bengal administration.
