BJP’s Sukanta Compared WB’s Law & Order to Sex Workers: TMC
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has taken strong exception to Union Minister and BJP leader Sukanta Majumder’s recent comment comparing the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi, the infamous red-light district of Kolkata. TMC has accused Sukanta of having a “hate-fuelled mindset” that sees women as objects of abuse and insult and the poor as tools to be exploited or mocked.
In a scathing attack, the TMC 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. This is not just a personal attack, but a reflection of the BJP’s ideology, which has always been against the interests of the marginalized and the oppressed.”
The controversy started when Sukanta Majumder, while addressing a rally in the state, allegedly compared the law and order situation in West Bengal to Sonagachi, saying that just as the sex workers in Sonagachi have to face the wrath of the law, the people of West Bengal are also facing the same situation under the TMC government.
The TMC, however, has strongly rejected Sukanta’s statement, calling it an insult to the people of West Bengal. “This is a shameful statement that shows the depths of hatred and malice that the BJP has for the people of West Bengal. Sukanta Majumder’s statement is not just an insult to the people of West Bengal, but also to the sex workers of Sonagachi who are fighting for their dignity and rights,” said a TMC spokesperson.
The TMC has also accused Sukanta of trying to polarize the society and create communal tensions in the state. “Sukanta’s statement is a clear attempt to divide the society and create communal tensions in the state. We will not let him succeed in his nefarious plans,” said the TMC spokesperson.
The TMC’s reaction comes at a time when the BJP has been trying to make inroads in West Bengal, which has been a stronghold of the TMC for years. The BJP has been trying to woo the voters of the state by highlighting the law and order situation, which it claims is deteriorating under the TMC government.
However, the TMC has been countering the BJP’s claims by highlighting its achievements in the state, including the development of infrastructure and the improvement in law and order. “The people of West Bengal know that the TMC has delivered on its promises and has worked for the welfare of the people. Sukanta’s statement is just a desperate attempt to create confusion and divide the society,” said a TMC leader.
The controversy has also sparked a debate on social media, with many people taking to Twitter to express their outrage at Sukanta’s statement. “This is an outrage! Sukanta Majumder’s statement is an insult to the people of West Bengal and the sex workers of Sonagachi. The BJP should apologize for this shameful statement,” tweeted a user.
The BJP, however, has defended Sukanta’s statement, saying that it was taken out of context. “Sukanta’s statement was not meant to insult anyone, but to highlight the law and order situation in West Bengal. The TMC is trying to divert attention from its failures,” said a BJP spokesperson.
The controversy has also raised questions about the BJP’s ideology and its approach to governance. “The BJP is known for its divisive politics and its attempts to create communal tensions. Sukanta’s statement is just another example of this,” said a political analyst.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Sukanta Majumder’s statement highlights the deep-seated hatred and malice that the BJP has for the people of West Bengal. The TMC has rightly condemned Sukanta’s statement and has called for an apology from the BJP. The people of West Bengal will not be fooled by the BJP’s attempts to create communal tensions and will continue to support the TMC, which has worked for their welfare and development.
