Meanwhile, the BJP has called 12-hour ‘Bengal Bandh’ call in protest against police crackdown on peaceful protest during the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ – march to the state secretariat on Tuesday.
The rally termed “Nabanna Abhiyan” started from the College Square in the capital of West Bengal, amid heightened security around the West Bengal state secretariat with protestors gathering at the Santragachi area in Howrah.
Later, the police hosed protestors with water cannons as they climbed atop police barricades, clashed with police personnel and broke the barricades at Santragachi in Howrah during the protest march.
Protestors also dragged away police barricades and police resorted to opening lathi-charge and lobbing tear gas shells to disperse them.
Following the chaos, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) TMC listed “BJP’s idea of a ‘peaceful protest’,” in a social media post in X, which includes stone pelting, pushing barricades, severely injuring the police, orchestrating extreme chaos and disrupting the law and order of the state.
TMC further stated that the “Nabanna Abhiyan” was a conspiracy by the BJP and was “nothing short of a FATAL ATTACK on Bengal!”
The rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at Kolkata’s R G Kar Medical College and Hospital premises, sparked nationwide outrage and since then several protests have been staged demanding justice for the victim.
