# Abhishek Banerjee calls attack on Mamata’s car state-sponsored 2026-08-10T12:41:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee on Monday alleged that Sunday’s attack on Mamata Banerjee’s convoy in North 24 Parganas was “state-sponsored”. He claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah backed it, and that West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari “executed” it. Abhishek said the protesters had been “spotted with BJP leaders in multiple instances”. BJP state unit president Samik Bhattacharya condemned the attack and denied any party role. Transport minister Arjun Singh said those involved acted over their homes being “looted and demolished” during TMC rule. Mamata, who visited Bizpur to meet a deceased TMC worker’s family, said stones and shoes were thrown at her vehicle. Protester complaints cited a police death in custody. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - news.abplive.com Tags: Abhishek Banerjee, Mamata Banerjee, political violence, Suvendu Adhikari, TMC vs BJP, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/abhishek-banerjee-calls-attack-on-mamatas-car-state-sponsored/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
