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, the famous red-light district in Kolkata. The TMC 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, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, made the comparison during a rally in West Bengal. The TMC took to social media to condemn Sukanta’s remarks, calling them “shameful” and “insulting”.
“TMC is shocked and saddened by the shameful and insulting remarks made by Union Minister Sukanta Majumder, comparing the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi sex workers,” the party posted on social media. “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 divide the people of West Bengal by making such derogatory remarks about the state’s law and order situation. “Sukanta’s remarks are a clear attempt to create a divide between the people of West Bengal and to undermine the state government’s efforts to maintain law and order,” the party said.
The TMC’s attack on Sukanta comes at a time when the party is already under fire for its alleged involvement in the recent violence in West Bengal. The TMC has been accused of using violence and intimidation to silence its opponents and maintain its grip on power in the state.
The BJP, on the other hand, has defended Sukanta’s remarks, saying that they were made in the context of the state’s law and order situation, which has been marred by violence and crime. “Sukanta’s remarks were made to highlight the law and order situation in West Bengal, which is deteriorating day by day,” said a BJP spokesperson. “The TMC is trying to divert attention from its own failures by making baseless accusations.”
However, the TMC’s attack on Sukanta has sparked a heated debate in West Bengal, with many people calling for the Union Minister to apologize for his remarks. “Sukanta’s comparison of West Bengal’s law and order situation to Sonagachi sex workers is not only insulting but also demeaning,” said a local resident. “It shows that the BJP is not serious about addressing the state’s law and order issues but is instead trying to create a divide between the people.”
The controversy has also raised questions about the BJP’s commitment to women’s empowerment and dignity. “The BJP’s silence on Sukanta’s remarks is deafening,” said a women’s rights activist. “It shows that the party is not serious about addressing women’s issues and is instead using them as a tool to further its political agenda.”
In conclusion, Sukanta’s comparison of West Bengal’s law and order situation to Sonagachi sex workers has sparked a heated debate in West Bengal. 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 remarks, saying that they were made in the context of the state’s law and order situation. However, the controversy has raised questions about the BJP’s commitment to women’s empowerment and dignity.
