“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Sandeshkhali, West Bengal where several women have alleged sexual assault by a prominent Trinamool Congress leader and his aides”, said BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari on Monday.
The Bharatiya Janata Party leader said that preparations are underway and the dates for PM Modi’s visit will be finalised by PMO.
Adhikari, who joined the BJP in 2020, said ahead of his visit to the North 24 Parganas village after getting permission from the Calcutta high court “The permission was given on February 12 also but they imposed Section 144.
“Today I received a specific order and I will go there tomorrow and meet the families of the victims. Many BJP workers have been arrested, I will meet their family members,” said Adhikari.
“Mamata Banerjee will lose the Lok Sabha elections and that is why she is doing all this. She has not done any development work. They will not arrest (Sheikh Shahjahan) because they need goons during elections and they have given him protection,” the BJP leader said.
Several women in Sandeshkhali have accused local TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his supporters of land grab and sexual assault. Sheikh is absconding after a mob attacked Enforcement Directorate officials who had gone there to search his premises in connection with a ration scam case.
On Monday, a delegation of National Commission for Women led by chairperson Rekha Sharma had visited Sandeshkhali to meet the victims.
The NCW chief called for Mamata Banerjee’s resignation and imposition of President’s Rule in the state.
