পশ্চিমবঙ্গ সম্পূর্ণ রসাতলে যেতে আর বেশী দেরি নেই। এখনই যদি রাজ্যবাসী জেগে না ওঠেন তাহলে সমূহ বিপদ অপেক্ষা করছে সবার জন্য। আপনারা সন্দেশখালি দেখেছেন, মিনাখাঁ দেখেছেন এবার পূর্ব মেদিনীপুরের নন্দকুমার থানার… pic.twitter.com/o0Aa88qpgr
He informed that the police did not take action against the accused because they constituted the core vote bank of Mamata Banerjee’s party.
“Under Mamata Banerjee’s rule, they can do whatever they want by pointing their thumb at the law. The administration cannot do anything. It does not matter whether the victim is a Hindu leader of the Trinamool party. Because if the victim is a Hindu and the attacker is a Jihadi, it is clear as day which side the police administration will lean on,” he emphasised.
Suvendu Adhikari said that the BJP and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) are providing the necessary assistance to the family of the victim. He also appealed to the Hindu supporters of the TMC and pointed out that only the BJP can protect them.
Taliban-style justice in West Bengal
In June this year, a woman was subjected to Taliban-style public flogging in West Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district by a TMC leader’s close aide.
A video of the incident was shared by CPI(M) leader Mohammed Salim, in which a local Bahubali leader Tajemul was seen assaulting a married woman and a man lying helplessly on the road in the name of ‘summary Justice’.
Sharing the video of the assault, CPI(M) leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Salim stated that the main accused seen in the video was a local TMC goon nicknamed ‘JCB’.
A similar case was reported from the Phulbari area of West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district. A woman reportedly died by suicide after she was beaten up by a group of people from her village panchayat.
The woman’s husband said, “My wife ended her life by drinking some poisonous substance after some women from the village beat her up in front of the panchayat. I complained to the police that my wife died because of these women as she could not bear the humiliation of being summoned to the kangaroo court and being beaten up publicly.”
