On social media a video of Kolkata Mayor and Trinamool Congress MLA Firham Hakim doing whataboutery on the plight of sexual violence in Sandeshkhali village has surfaced.
BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya shared the video on X (formerly Twitter). In the video, ‘Firhad Hakim was heard mocking the ordeal of women in Sandeshkhali. “Now, you know that one ‘khali’ is grabbing all headlines. What ‘Khali’? Ah, Sandeshkhali. It is everywhere’.
‘Yes, some people have done injustice. Some people have forced themselves upon the women. Our party has made the mistake of intaking such people from the Communist Party of India (Marxist)’, he attempted to conveniently shift the blame to his rival party.
Mamata Banerjee’s close aide Firhad Hakim, who also happens to be the Mayor of Kolkata and dreams of turning Bengal into Pakistan, mocks the struggles of the people and women of #Sandeshkhali. He asks "What Khali is in news now?" (Video1 – 46sec)

“They (The police) have found 2 cases where women were called to the (party office) and sexually violated. I am telling you that this was there even during the CPIM era,” Firhad Hakim claimed.
This is not the first time that a TMC leader has devalued the atrocities unleashed against the women of Sandeshkhali village in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal.
