BJP’s Sukanta Compared WB’s Law & Order to Sex Workers: TMC
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has come down heavily on Union Minister and BJP leader Sukanta Majumder for his alleged comments comparing the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi, the infamous red-light district in Kolkata. The TMC has accused Majumder of having a derogatory mindset towards women and the poor, and has demanded an apology from him for his “insidious” remarks.
According to reports, Majumder made the controversial comments during a recent public meeting in the state, where he allegedly drew a parallel between the law and order situation in West Bengal and the sex workers of Sonagachi. The TMC has termed this as an “insult” to the women of West Bengal and has demanded that the BJP leader withdraw his statement and apologize for the same.
The TMC took to social media to condemn Majumder’s comments, posting on its official Twitter 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.” The party also demanded that the Centre take action against Majumder for his “derogatory” remarks.
The BJP leader’s comments have sparked widespread outrage in the state, with many calling for his resignation and an apology. The TMC has also accused the Centre of attempts to “humiliate” the people of West Bengal, and has demanded that the BJP leader be held accountable for his actions.
The controversy has also led to a war of words between the TMC and the BJP, with both parties trading barbs and accusations. The BJP has defended Majumder’s comments, saying that they were taken out of context and that the Union Minister was simply highlighting the law and order situation in the state. However, the TMC has refused to back down, saying that Majumder’s remarks were “insidious” and “insulting” to the people of West Bengal.
The controversy has also raised questions about the BJP’s approach to politics in West Bengal. The party has been trying to make inroads in the state, but its efforts have been met with widespread resistance from the TMC and its supporters. The BJP’s attempt to compare the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi has been seen as a desperate attempt to tarnish the image of the TMC and its leadership.
The TMC has also accused the BJP of trying to polarize the people of West Bengal along communal lines, and has said that the party’s ” divisive politics” will not be tolerated. The party has also demanded that the Centre take action against the BJP leaders who are involved in ” communal politics” and ” hate speech”.
The controversy has also led to a debate about the law and order situation in West Bengal. While the TMC has been claiming that the state is one of the safest in the country, the BJP has been accusing the party of failing to maintain law and order. The controversy has also highlighted the differences between the two parties on issues such as security and governance.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Sukanta Majumder’s comments has once again highlighted the differences between the TMC and the BJP on issues such as governance, law and order, and politics. While the TMC has accused the BJP leader of having a derogatory mindset towards women and the poor, the BJP has defended his comments, saying that they were taken out of context. The controversy has also raised questions about the BJP’s approach to politics in West Bengal and its attempts to polarize the people along communal lines.
