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 the sex workers of Sonagachi, one of the largest red-light districts in Kolkata. The TMC has accused Sukanta of having a “hate-fuelled mindset” and portraying women as “objects of abuse and insult” and the poor as “tools to be exploited or mocked”.
The controversy erupted after Sukanta made the remark while addressing a public meeting in the state. During his speech, he referred to the law and order situation in West Bengal, stating that it was as bad as the condition of sex workers in Sonagachi. The remark sparked widespread outrage among the people of West Bengal, with many calling it an insult to the state and its people.
The TMC, which is the ruling party in West Bengal, was quick to condemn Sukanta’s remarks and demand an apology. TMC leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to social media to express her outrage, stating that Sukanta’s comments were “insulting” and “hurtful”. She also accused the BJP of having a “vested interest” in destabilizing the law and order situation in West Bengal.
“Sukanta’s remarks are a reflection of the BJP’s mindset towards women and the poor,” Banerjee said in a tweet. “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 posted a similar message on its official social media handle, saying that Sukanta’s remarks were a “reflection of the BJP’s patriarchal and casteist mindset”. The party also accused the BJP of trying to spread hatred and division in the state and requested the people of West Bengal to reject the BJP’s “communal and divisive politics”.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate in the state, with many people taking to social media to express their outrage and disgust at Sukanta’s remarks. Many have also called for Sukanta to apologize and resign from his post as Union Minister.
The incident has also raised questions about the BJP’s stance on women’s rights and the poor. The party has been accused of having a “backward” and “regressive” approach towards women and the poor, and Sukanta’s remarks have only added fuel to the fire.
The BJP, however, has defended Sukanta’s remarks, stating that they were taken out of context and that Sukanta was simply trying to highlight the law and order situation in West Bengal. The party has also accused the TMC of being “sensitive” and “hypocritical”, stating that the TMC has been involved in numerous controversies and scandals during its tenure in power.
The controversy has also sparked a debate about the law and order situation in West Bengal. While the TMC has claimed that the state has one of the best law and order situations in the country, the BJP has accused the government of being “ineffective” and “corrupt”. The controversy has also raised questions about the role of the police in the state and the effectiveness of the law and order machinery.
In conclusion, Sukanta Majumder’s remarks have sparked a heated debate in West Bengal, with many people calling for him to apologize and resign from his post. The TMC has accused Sukanta of having a “hate-fuelled mindset” and portraying women as “objects of abuse and insult” and the poor as “tools to be exploited or mocked”. The controversy has also raised questions about the BJP’s stance on women’s rights and the poor, and the law and order situation in West Bengal.
