Trinamool Congress to protest against attack on Mamata

Following the attack on former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Bijpur in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, the minority faction of the Trinamool Congress has decided to hold protest rallies across the state on Monday.

A party insider said that a protest march will be held in all the blocks of the state. Party MLAs who have not joined the rebel camp will mark their protest in the state Assembly.

According to the party insider, Trinamool Congress is trying to intensify its movement in the state, focusing on Sunday’s incident. After the Assembly results were announced, party



supremo Mamata Banerjee sat on a dharna on Y channel on June 2 to protest against multiple issues in the state, including post-poll violence, and the eviction of hawkers.

 However, so far, the entire programme of the Mamata Banerjee-led faction of the Trinamool Congress has been Kolkata-centric.

According to the insider, the party is now trying to reach out to its workers in the districts and inspire activists and supporters to take part in its fresh movements. The district leaders have been asked to organise processions in every block after 2 p.m. on Monday to protest against the attack.
