Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 15 (ANI): Union Minister of State for Education and Development of the North Eastern Region, Sukanta Majumdar, has condemned the alleged police raid at the BJP office in West Bengal’s Bankura district, calling it a “heinous crime.”
Reiterating West Bengal Leader of Opposition (LoP) Suvendu Adhikari’s allegations against the state police and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Union MoS Majumdar said, “This is a heinous crime conducted by police. We are going to court and lodging an FIR against that officer. At midnight, they raided the BJP office and broke the lock. This is unacceptable.”
“BJP is the world’s largest democratic party, and we will fight against this both legally and politically,” he told ANI.
The row began when, sharing a video of the alleged raid on X, Suvendu Adhikari called the West Bengal police ‘spineless’ and ‘partisan’.
Adhikari wrote, “The @WBPolice under the ‘slippers’ of Mamata Banerjee, have once again exposed their true colours as a spineless, partisan force that serves as a puppet of the ruling regime.”
Narrating the incident, he added, “Last night, at around 2 AM, Officers from Khatra and Bankura Police Stations descended upon the Bankura District BJP Party Office like thieves and dacoits, attempting to break the gate and barge in under the cover of darkness. This shameless display of so-called “power” was met with fierce resistance from our brave BJP Karyakartas and local Leaders, who stood firm against this cowardly act of intimidation.”
“Is this what Mamata Police have been reduced to; sneaking around in the dead of night to harass opposition workers while turning a blind eye to the real criminals? Where is this bravado when it comes to taking action against TMC’s notorious ‘lumpen’ Anubrata Mondal? This is the same Police force that cowers when faced with TMC goons and their lawless antics. Just weeks ago, an audio clip surfaced of Mondal hurling vile abuses and threats at Bolpur’s Inspector-in-Charge, targeting his wife and mother with obscene remarks. Yet, what did the SPINELESS Police do? NOTHING,” the X post read.
He alleged that CM Mamata Banerjee has surrendered to rioters, and instead of acting against the rioters, the state police took refuge in shops.
“One can’t forget the SURRENDER gesture made by the Mamata Police in Maheshtala a couple of days earlier, waving a white handkerchief towards the stone pelting Jihadists. Bloody Cowards. During the recent anti-Hindu violence in Murshidabad, where mobs vandalised shops and homes, used crude bombs, and attacked Police vehicles, rather than cracking down on these miscreants, when faced with Jihadist rioters, the Mamata Police either took refuge in shops,” Adhikari posted.
The X post further said, “They have a history of hiding under tables, with files on their heads as cover, too afraid to act against those TMC Goons who invade the Police Stations. The people of Bengal deserve better than a Police force that flexes its muscle against the Opposition and commoners but turns tail when confronted by TMC’s goons or other lawbreakers who are under the shelter of the TMC Party. This is not Law Enforcement, it’s an act staged by Clowns, who have lost all respect from the People of West Bengal. I condemn this attempt to illegally enter the @BJP4Bengal Party Office at night without valid reasons and documents. Shame on you @WBPolice.” (ANI)
