Mamata Banerjee’s Government Slammed Over Sandeshkhali Controversy; Called ‘Government Of Rapists’

On Wednesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party asserted that Mamata Banerjee engages in appeasement politics in West Bengal. The party attacked her over the Sandeshkhali controversy and asserted that Banerjee is a silent witness to sexual violence against Hindu women and that Hindus are compelled to pray in secret in Basirhat.

“Hindus have to offer prayers secretly in Basirhat and several other places in West Bengal. Idol immersion during Durga Puja has already been stopped by Mamata Banerjee, she has differed the date once. This is the dirty politics of Mamata Banerjee. She only thinks of appeasement politics and not about the development of the people. I will try to visit Sandeshkhali, and see if the police try to stop me,” said West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar, who is trying to visit Sandeshkhali area of North 24 Parganas. Later, during a brawl between BJP workers and police, he sustained injuries.

BJP: Mamata doesn’t strive to uphold dignity of women

West Bengal government came up on target of BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia over claims of sexual harassment made by women in the Sandeshkhali block. “West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is acting as a silent spectator. This is a matter of concern. This press conference highlights the lawlessness that prevails in West Bengal where it is clear to every citizen the rule of law does not prevail or exist, rather the law of the anarchy ruler Mamata Banerjee prevails,” he said.

He claimed she doesn’t strive to uphold the dignity of the women. “When the perpetrator of the crime happens to be a TMC goon, the chief minister of the state doesn’t even care to uphold the dignity of the women of the state, especially Hindu women, being targeted by the goons of Sheikh Shahjahan, the absconder,” he added.

Government of rapist remark…

He called Banerjee’s government a “government of rapists”. “It will not be wrong to say that West Bengal has turned into a state where there is a government run by the rapist, of the rapist. Instead of standing in support of the victims, Mamata Banerjee is supporting the rapist,” Bhatia said.

For the past few days, a number of women in Sandeshkhali, Bengal, have been staging protests. They claim that TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh and his associates have harassed them sexually. They want the leader to be taken into custody.
