sandeshkhali

The West Bengal police has been accused by women residents of Sandeshkhali of aiding Trinamool Congress goons and remaining a mute spectator to the harassment meted out by them.

"Now, the situation is so grave that these areas are geographically in India, but demographically it has become almost Bangladesh," Diptasya Jash remarked.

"My husband is being falsely implicated in the case. He (Nirapada Sardar) was not in Sandeshkhali between the 4th and 9th of February," informed Dpia Sardar.

A resident of Sandeshkhali slammed Mamata Banerjee and asked whether the increase in monthly subsidy from ₹500 to ₹1000 is the 'compensation' for being sexually exploited by her party cadres.

"TMC workers would come to the village and pick out the 'beautiful women.' These men would hunt for young women and send diktat to their families to hand over the victims to them," a Hindu woman recounted.

During the protests, the Nandigram MLA said, “TMC is a rapist party. All BJP leaders have been arrested. No other party has any role in it but TMC... BJP is the only support of Hindu nationalists... We will not obey Section 144."
