Mamata Banerjee leads women's rally in Kolkata amid Sandeshkhali row

Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday led a rally in Kolkata 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 Trinamool Congress supremo was seen waving at people as she marched from College Street to Dorina Crossing in central Kolkata.

She also accused the BJP of spreading canards about Sandeshkhali, and asserted that the state is the safest place in the country for women.

In an apparent reference to former Calcutta High Court judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay, who joined the BJP during the day, she said, “We will ensure your defeat no matter from where you contest in the Lok Sabha polls.”

Addressing people after leading a rally in Kolkata for women’s rights, she said, “Some people are spreading fake information about Sandeshkhali. BJP leaders are spreading canards about the safety of women in West Bengal but they maintain a stoic silence when women are tortured in BJP-ruled states.” “West Bengal is the safest state in the country for women,” she said.

Hitting out at Gangopadhyay for “taking away jobs of thousands of youths” across the state through his judgments, Banerjee said, “The youths will not forgive you. All your judgments are under question. We will ensure your defeat.”

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.
