BJP’s Sukanta Compared WB’s Law & Order to Sex Workers: TMC
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has launched a scathing attack on Union Minister and BJP leader Sukanta Majumder for comparing the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi, one of the largest red-light districts in India. The TMC has accused Sukanta of having an “ugly, hate-fuelled mindset” that views women as objects of abuse and insult, and the poor as tools to be exploited or mocked.
The controversy began when Sukanta made a statement likening the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi, sparking outrage among the people of the state. The TMC quickly jumped on the issue, terming Sukanta’s comments as “insulting” and “disrespectful” to the people of West Bengal.
In a series of tweets, the TMC posted on its official handle, “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. This is the true face of the BJP and its leaders like Sukanta Majumder.”
The TMC also accused Sukanta of trying to “tarnish” the image of West Bengal and its people by making such “derogatory” comments. “It is clear that Sukanta Majumder has no respect for the people of West Bengal and is trying to spread hatred and division by making such baseless and false statements,” the TMC tweeted.
The TMC’s reaction was swift and strong, and many have slammed Sukanta for his comments. “It is unacceptable that a Union Minister can make such derogatory comments about a state and its people. Sukanta Majumder should apologize for his comments and take back what he said,” said a senior TMC leader.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people taking to Twitter to express their outrage and disgust at Sukanta’s comments. “How can a Union Minister compare the law and order situation in West Bengal to a red-light district? It is unacceptable and insulting,” tweeted a user.
Others have called for Sukanta to be sacked from his position as Union Minister, citing his “derogatory” comments. “Sukanta Majumder has no place in the government. He should be sacked immediately,” tweeted another user.
The BJP, however, has defended Sukanta’s comments, terming them as “misinterpreted” and “taken out of context.” “Sukanta Majumder’s comments were meant to highlight the law and order situation in West Bengal, not to insult the people of the state,” said a BJP spokesperson.
The controversy has also sparked a debate on the law and order situation in West Bengal, with many people questioning the state government’s ability to maintain law and order. “The law and order situation in West Bengal is indeed a concern, but comparing it to a red-light district is not the way to go about it,” said a local resident.
The TMC, however, has maintained that Sukanta’s comments are a reflection of the BJP’s “hate-filled” and “divisive” politics. “The BJP is known for its divisive politics, and Sukanta’s comments are just another example of that,” said a TMC leader.
In conclusion, Sukanta Majumder’s comments comparing the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi sex workers have sparked outrage and controversy. The TMC has accused Sukanta of having an “ugly, hate-fuelled mindset” that views women as objects of abuse and insult, and the poor as tools to be exploited or mocked. The BJP, on the other hand, has defended Sukanta’s comments, terming them as “misinterpreted” and “taken out of context.” The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people taking to Twitter to express their outrage and disgust at Sukanta’s comments.
