The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal has taken the decision of not sending its spokespersons to media channels such as TV9, Republic and ABP Ananda that are holding it accountable amid the ongoing protests over the rape-murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
In a statement released on Sunday, TMC has accused a few media channels of setting propaganda against the State at the behest of Delhi-based ‘zamindars.’ The party directed its spokesperson to not respond to the TV channels while targeting the news channels as anti-Bengali.
Few media organisations had taken the West Bengal government head-on for trying to rid itself of moral responsibility in the RG Kar rape-murder case. However, the three media channels including TV9, Republic and ABP Ananda have questioned the political handling of Mamata Banerjee in the disturbing incident of rape and murder of female trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College. TMC has not only decided to boycott few media channels but also attack their journalistic integrity.
The party declared, ‘AITC has, for now, decided not to send its spokespersons to media channels such as TV9, Republic and ABP Ananda due to their persistent ANTI-BENGAL agenda-driven PROPAGANDA’.
TMC has been facing hate against so-called outsiders since 2021, claimed, ‘We understand their compulsion to appease the ZAMINDARS of Delhi, given the investigations and ongoing enforcement cases their promoters and companies are facing’.
It also alleged, ‘We also clarify and request the people of West Bengal not to be misled by individuals portrayed as party supporters or sympathizers on these platforms during discussions or debates, as they are not authorized by the party and do not represent our official stance.”
It concluded, ‘The people of Bengal have consistently rejected this unholy BANGLA BIRODHI NEXUS and have always chosen TRUTH over PROPAGANDA!’.
The West Bengal Government has played its role in a negative and unsatisfying way in the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor of RG Kar Medical College. The question arises on the management of West Bengal government.
