Telegraph | 8 March 2024
Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday led a rally in Calcutta for women's rights.
The rally, themed 'Mahila Der Adhikaar, Aamader Angikaar' (women's rights are our commitment), was organised by the ruling TMC a day ahead of International Women's Day.
The rally was organised amid incidents in Sandeshkhali, where women have accused TMC leaders of sexually abusing them.
The Trinamul Congress supremo was seen waving at people as she marched from College Street to Dorina Crossing in central Kolkata.
TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee was also present at the rally. BJP's Ranaghat Dakshin MLA Mukut Mani Adhikari was seen walking alongside him.
