Jalpaiguri: On Wednesday, protesters were allegedly attacked by Trinamool supporters in Mathabhanga. The attackers wiped off graffiti — showing slippers with a message in Bengali — which protesters had painted on the road. Cops on Thursday arrested three Trinamool activists. All three got bail after being produced in court.
The rally was organised by Paschim Banga Ganatrantrik Lekhok Shilpi and Bharatiya Gononatya Sangha.Nabin Paul, part of one of the groups, said the graffiti was not targeted at anybody. Biswajit Roy, president of Trinamool’ Mathabhanga Town Block Committee, said: “No one was beaten up. The protesters had drawn graffiti trying to politicize the issue. Our men wiped those off.” tnn
