BJP’s Sukanta compared WB’s law & order to sex workers: TMC
Trinamool Congress (TMC) has taken a strong exception to Union Minister and BJP leader Sukanta Majumder’s recent statement, where he compared the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi, the largest red-light area in Kolkata. The TMC has accused Sukanta of having an “ugly, hate-fuelled mindset” and seeing women as objects of abuse and insult.
Sukanta Majumder, who is a Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, made the controversial statement while addressing a rally in Kolkata recently. He claimed that the law and order situation in West Bengal is as bad as Sonagachi, implying that the state is in a state of chaos and anarchy.
The TMC has strongly condemned Sukanta’s statement, saying that it is a reflection of the BJP’s “sick mentality” towards women and the poor. In a tweet, the TMC posted, “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 Sukanta of trying to divert attention from the BJP’s failures on the national stage. “The BJP is frustrated with its failures in governance and is trying to create a diversion by making cheap remarks about West Bengal,” said TMC spokesperson. “But the people of West Bengal are not fools and will not be fooled by such cheap tactics.”
The TMC’s statement has been widely shared on social media, with many people expressing outrage and shock at Sukanta’s comments. “This is a shocking and disgusting statement,” tweeted a user. “How can a Union Minister compare women who are victims of sex trafficking to a state’s law and order situation?”
The BJP, on the other hand, has defended Sukanta’s statement, saying that it was meant to highlight the law and order situation in West Bengal, which has been marred by incidents of violence and crime. “Sukanta Majumder was simply highlighting the law and order situation in West Bengal, which is a matter of concern for the people of the state,” said a BJP spokesperson. “The TMC is trying to politicize the issue and divert attention from its own failures.”
However, many experts and activists have criticized Sukanta’s statement, saying that it is a reflection of the BJP’s patriarchal and misogynistic mindset. “Sukanta’s statement is a clear example of how women are seen as objects of abuse and insult in our society,” said a women’s rights activist. “It’s a reflection of the BJP’s patriarchal mindset and its lack of respect for women’s rights and dignity.”
The incident has also raised questions about the BJP’s track record on women’s issues. The party has been accused of being anti-women and anti-poor, and many have pointed out that Sukanta’s statement is just the latest example of its misogynistic and patriarchal attitude.
In conclusion, Sukanta Majumder’s statement comparing West Bengal’s law and order situation to Sonagachi has sparked a controversy that has highlighted the BJP’s “sick mentality” towards women and the poor. The TMC has condemned Sukanta’s statement, saying that it is a reflection of the BJP’s patriarchal and misogynistic mindset. The incident has also raised questions about the BJP’s track record on women’s issues and its lack of respect for women’s rights and dignity.
