Assault On Abhishek Banerjee: âPre-Planned Attack By BJP Goonsâ, Alleges Trinamool Congress
Allegations of a politically motivated assault raise concerns about violence and suppression of opposition.
Opposition parties, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, condemned the assault on TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee in West Bengal's Sonarpur, blaming the BJP. They accused the ruling party of orchestrating a "murderous attack" and using violence to silence opposition voices. The incident prompted calls for increased security for all Opposition leaders and an end to political violence. The BJP, however, denied involvement and claimed the attack was a manifestation of public anger against the ruling Trinamool Congress.
