The Story in Brief
Trinamool Congress workers protested across West Bengal on Monday after Mamata Banerjee's convoy was attacked in Halisahar on Sunday, with party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee accusing the BJP of orchestrating the assault. He claimed to have photographs linking attackers to BJP leaders. Several protesters were detained, including youth leader Mrityunjoy Pal and IT cell spokesperson Upasana Chowdhury.
The attack occurred when Mamata visited the family of a TMC worker who died in police custody. TMC leaders allege bricks and stones were thrown at her car by BJP-backed miscreants. The BJP has not yet responded to the allegations.
The Indian Opinion
It is a tired pattern: an attack on a political leader, immediate accusations, and mass protests. The claim that BJP workers were behind the Halisahar attack on Mamata Banerjee is serious, but requires proof beyond party allegations. The TMC's own history of political violence in West Bengal invites scepticism. Both sides must let the police investigate independently. The real question is whether law and order in the state will be allowed to function without political interference.
