Political Tensions Escalate: BJP vs TMC in West Bengal Amid Samvidhan Hatya Diwas Debate

Political tensions have escalated in West Bengal as Union Minister and BJP President Sukanta Majumdar accused Trinamool Congress workers of hurling stones and shoes at him during a visit to Budge Budge. Majumdar, who was returning from meeting an injured BJP member, vowed to report the incident to the Home Ministry, citing it as a threat to democracy.

Majumdar criticized the police for inaction, claiming that they did nothing to curb the violence. He also highlighted an incident where BJP workers were allegedly abducted and assaulted during an all-party meeting, emphasizing the absence of law and order in the state.

In a related development, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee objected to the central government's decision to commemorate June 25 as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas. Banerjee questioned the nomenclature and the broader implications for democracy, underlining the Constitution as the foundation of democratic rights.
