Madan Mitra's Unconditional Apology: Controversial Comments Ignite Controversy

Senior Trinamool Congress leader Madan Mitra has extended an unconditional apology to the party regarding his controversial statements about the alleged gangrape victim at a law college in Kolkata.

The Kamarhati MLA responded to a show-cause notice late Monday, addressing his remarks that suggested the incident might have been preventable if the victim had not been alone.

TMC is reviewing Mitra's explanation, which includes a formal apology and attempts to justify the context of his comments, as his statement received widespread condemnation for being insensitive and victim-blaming.
