BJP’s Sukanta Compared WB’s Law & Order to Sex Workers: TMC
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has taken strong exception to a comment made by Union Minister and BJP leader Sukanta Majumder, who compared the law and order situation in West Bengal to the notorious Sonagachi sex workers of Kolkata. The TMC has condemned the comment as an insult to the women of the state and a reflection of the BJP’s “ugly, hate-fuelled mindset”.
The controversy began when Sukanta Majumder made the remark during a public rally in West Bengal. According to reports, he said that the law and order situation in the state was akin to the Sonagachi sex workers, who are known for their professional and organized nature. The comment was seen as a comparison between the two, implying that the law and order situation in West Bengal was similarly organized and professional.
The TMC was quick to condemn the comment, calling it an insult to the women of the state and a reflection of the BJP’s “ugly, hate-fuelled mindset”. In a statement, the party said, “Behind all their slogans lies an ugly, hate-fuelled mindset that sees women as objects of abuse and insult and the poor as tools to be exploited or mocked.”
The TMC also accused the BJP of using such tactics to distract people from the real issues of governance and development. “The BJP is trying to divert people’s attention from the real issues of governance and development by making such baseless and insulting comments,” the statement said.
The comment has also been widely condemned by other political parties and civil society organizations in West Bengal. The Left Front, a coalition of left-wing parties in the state, has demanded an apology from Sukanta Majumder for the remark. “Such comments are not only insulting to the women of West Bengal but also reflect the BJP’s anti-women and anti-poor agenda,” said a Left Front spokesperson.
The controversy has also sparked a debate about the law and order situation in West Bengal. While the TMC and other opposition parties have accused the Mamata Banerjee government of being soft on crime, the BJP has accused the government of being ineffective in tackling crime.
The law and order situation in West Bengal has been a major issue in the ongoing political debate in the state. The TMC has accused the BJP of trying to create a fear psychosis among the people by highlighting instances of crime and violence in the state. The BJP, on the other hand, has accused the TMC of being unable to tackle crime effectively and of being soft on criminals.
The controversy has also highlighted the deeper political divide between the two parties. The TMC has accused the BJP of trying to create a divide between different sections of society, including women and the poor, to gain political mileage. The BJP, on the other hand, has accused the TMC of being corrupt and ineffective in governance.
The comment by Sukanta Majumder has also sparked a debate about the role of women in politics. The TMC has accused the BJP of being anti-women and of using women as mere objects to gain political mileage. The BJP, on the other hand, has accused the TMC of being unable to empower women and of being soft on crimes committed against them.
The controversy is likely to continue for some time, with both parties accusing each other of making baseless and insulting comments. However, the TMC’s condemnation of Sukanta Majumder’s comment has sent a strong message that such comments will not be tolerated in West Bengal.
