Times of India | 14 February 2024
KOLKATA: West Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar sustained injuries when a scuffle broke out between the police and party workers amid protests against alleged atrocities by Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shajahan Sheikh and his associates.
The police had attempted to escort Majumdar back to the hotel he had departed from.
Majumdar is currently being transported to the Basirhat multi-facility hospital in a police vehicle.
West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar says, "Hindus have to offer prayers secretly in Basirhat and several other places in West Bengal. Idol immersion during Durga Puja has already been stopped by Mamata Banerjee, she has differed the date once. This is the dirty politics of Mamata Banerjee. She only thinks of appeasement politics and not about the development of the people. I will try to visit Sandeshkhali, will see if the police try to stop me..."
