In a tweet, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari informed, “Recently the portal uploaded a video covering the vandalism at a Kali Puja Pandal at Dakshindari area (adjacent to Ultadanga) in Kolkata. The video got a substantial amount of views and is getting viral.”
“Mamata Police who failed to secure the Kali Puja Pandal and desecration of Maa Kali’s idol, arrested Journalist Ananyo Gupta today. It seems, his fault is that he was covering the truth,” he added.
“This is not just about Free Press, this is an attempt to suppress those voices which raise an alarm when the Sanatan Dharma is under attack in West Bengal,” the BJP leader emphasised.
