TMC Orders Party Leader to Apologise Over Abusive Call to Police
In a shocking incident, an audio clip surfaced online showing Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Anubrata Mondal abusing a police inspector and his family during a phone call. The clip has sparked widespread outrage, prompting the TMC to order Mondal to apologise within four hours.
The incident took place on Friday, when Mondal, a senior leader of the TMC in Birbhum district, allegedly made the abusive call to the police inspector, who has not been named. The inspector, feeling harassed and intimidated, lodged a complaint with the police, leading to the registration of an FIR against Mondal.
In the audio clip, Mondal can be heard using abusive language and threatening the inspector and his family. The clip has been widely shared on social media, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation.
The TMC, however, initially remained silent on the issue, failing to take any action against Mondal. However, after the audio clip went viral, the party was forced to take action and ordered Mondal to apologise within four hours.
Security provided to Mondal has also been cut down by half, according to a police source quoted by Hindustan Times. This is a significant development, as Mondal is a powerful leader in the TMC and has been known to wield significant influence in the district.
The incident has raised serious questions about the conduct of Mondal and the TMC leadership. While the party has ordered Mondal to apologise, it is unclear what action will be taken against him if he fails to do so.
The police investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the inspector who lodged the complaint has been provided with security. The incident is a serious blow to the reputation of the TMC, which has been facing criticism over its handling of law and order in the state.
The incident is also a reminder of the growing trend of abuse and intimidation of law enforcement officials in the state. The police are meant to serve and protect the public, but they are often subjected to harassment and intimidation by powerful individuals and groups.
The TMC leadership has a responsibility to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. The party must take concrete action against Mondal and any other leader who engages in such behaviour. The police must also be provided with adequate support and resources to carry out their duties effectively.
In conclusion, the incident is a serious blow to the reputation of the TMC and highlights the need for the party to take concrete action against leaders who engage in abusive and intimidating behaviour. The police must also be provided with adequate support and resources to carry out their duties effectively.
