Video: Trinamool Congress Leader Abhishek Banerjee Assaulted During Visit To Party Worker's House
Political violence against a leader suggests a breakdown of law and order.
Abhishek Banerjee, Trinamool Congress leader, was attacked by a crowd in Sonarpur, West Bengal while visiting families affected by post-election violence. The incident occurred as Banerjee attempted to meet with party workers who were allegedly targeted by political rivals following the party's defeat. The crowd confronted Banerjee, shouting slogans and throwing eggs at him. He was taken to Apollo Hospital for treatment, where his aunt, former chief minister Mamata Banerjee, also visited. The BJP has denied involvement in the incident, while Derek O'Brien, a Trinamool leader, condemned the attack and called for police protection for the families affected by violence.
