In 2023, I stood by Ms. Moitra when she was under fire in Parliament — I did so out of conviction, not compulsion. Today, she repays that support by calling me a misogynist. I owe the nation an apology for having defended someone who clearly lacks basic gratitude. Let people see her words for what they are and judge accordingly.

I have immense respect for our police personnel, especially as the son of a police officer myself. However, I would like to remind them that their duty is to uphold the law with integrity and impartiality, not to act under the influence of any political leader, including Suvendu Adhikari The police must serve the people without bias, discrimination, or political colour, and remain committed only to justice and the Constitution.

This is not a madrasa — from tomorrow, no one will be allowed to enter the college wearing a burqa.’ Such threatening remarks by individuals allegedly backed by BJP-linked hooligan elements expose the dangerous rise of aggressive majoritarian politics after assuming power. When women from minority communities are targeted and their religious identity is openly attacked in educational spaces, it raises serious concerns about their safety, dignity, and constitutional rights in Bengal. Is this the kind of ‘change’ people were promised? Place: Azad Hind College, Domjur, Howrah

The duty of a government can never be to run a circus. Nor is it the responsibility of the state to provide spectacles for public entertainment. A government’s foremost obligation is to function in accordance with the Constitution and the rule of law. When excessive and unchecked power is handed over to the police administration, it often awakens the deepest forms of brutality within institutions. A sense of savage triumph begins to replace justice, and unfortunately, such displays also amuse and satisfy a section of society. But none of this brings honour to the Constitution. I do not support or justify the crimes of any offender. However, even a hardened criminal cannot be paraded through a marketplace with ropes tied around them. Such acts may satisfy the cruel excitement of some people and validate institutional excesses, but they are a clear violation of both the law and the basic principles of human rights. If a government begins to behave like a circus troupe rather than a constitutional authority, the people of West Bengal may face grave suffering in the days to come.

Berhampore–Murshidabad Organizational District | Special Organizational Meeting & Preparations for July 21 A leader is never built without dedicated workers. It is the workers who are the true strength of the party, the foundation on which every leader stands. Leaders may come and go, but the commitment of grassroots workers endures forever. Today, the true soldiers of the All India Trinamool Congress have once again demonstrated that their faith remains firmly with Mamata Banerjee. Your unwavering dedication, loyalty, and resilience are the greatest assets of our party. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you. Together, we will continue this journey with the people and for the people. Mamata Banerjee All India Trinamool Congress

BJP supporters are allegedly preventing poor cattle sellers from trading their cows in local markets, all in the name of “Gau Mata.” Yet, official data shows that India ranks among the top beef-exporting countries in the world. What a striking irony — when a poor farmer or cattle trader tries to earn a livelihood, suddenly the cow becomes “sacred”; but when wealthy businesses profit from large-scale exports, where does that sentiment disappear? This selective outrage exposes the deep hypocrisy behind such politics. BJP Bengal

If I had made any disrespectful remarks during an active session of Parliament, why was the matter not immediately brought to the notice of the Hon’ble Speaker at that very moment? Kakoli Madam certainly has every right to raise a complaint, but it is equally important to clarify when exactly the alleged incident took place and why no objection was raised then. In the changing political climate, there now appears to be an unhealthy competition among the so-called “good Trinamool leaders” over who can attack the Trinamool Congress more aggressively in order to appear morally superior. However, I too shall write to the Hon’ble Speaker and respectfully ask why sanction for prosecution has still not been granted in the Narada corruption case against the individual who was seen on camera accepting money, and against whom the CBI had already filed a chargesheet.

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed raising several serious concerns. Among the key issues highlighted were the disturbing post-election culture of throwing eggs at individuals, parading arrested persons through their localities with ropes tied around their waists, and exposing them to the risk of mob lynching. I am grateful to the Hon'ble Judges of the High Court for recognizing the gravity of these issues and directing that they be thoroughly examined. The Court has rightly questioned how such incidents could occur in the presence of the police and has also observed that the police have failed to discharge their duties effectively. How can social awareness and respect for the rule of law develop when the Chief Minister himself, along with another minister, Agnimitra Paul, are seen as encouraging or endorsing such actions? However, this authoritarian approach cannot continue indefinitely. Power is not a license for its misuse, and no one is above the rule of law. Suvendu Adhikari Agnimitra Paul BJP

The spontaneous public outrage among women over the 12-page Annapurna Bhandar application form reflects growing disillusionment with the BJP’s pre-election promises. People have begun to realize that these assurances were little more than empty rhetoric. As many are sarcastically asking, “To receive ₹3,000, will we eventually have to submit a death certificate as well?” The cumbersome requirements have only reinforced public skepticism, and ordinary citizens are increasingly rejecting the BJP’s approach.

Reports from Azad Hind College suggest that students are facing intimidation and fear allegedly at the hands of BJP-backed miscreants, with Muslim women students being particularly targeted and harassed. At a time when assurances of peace and normalcy are being publicly made, such incidents raise serious questions. It would be important to hear the response of Samik Bhattacharya on these disturbing developments.

A group of young Muslim men had gone to Canning to visit the area when they were allegedly confronted by some BJP-backed miscreants wearing saffron gamchas and shouting “Jai Shri Ram” slogans. After asking their names and learning that they belonged to the Muslim community, the attackers reportedly began abusing them, branding them as “Bangladeshi” and “jihadi,” before brutally assaulting them. The situation became even more disturbing when the victims were allegedly forced to lower their pants so that the attackers could determine their religion. Such acts are not only deeply humiliating but also strike at the very foundations of human dignity and constitutional values. The Preamble of the Constitution declares India to be a secular nation, founded on respect for all faiths and equal rights for all citizens. Is this the culture that the BJP seeks to promote in Bengal? Is hatred, religious profiling, and vigilantism now being projected as Bengal’s identity? Shame BJP West Bengal BJP

If even a Senior Advocate and former Chief Minister can face such hostility and lack of security within the premises of the High Court, one can only imagine the situation ordinary Trinamool workers and supporters are confronting across the state. A court of law is a place meant for justice, dignity, and constitutional values — not for shouting derogatory slogans or branding individuals as “thieves.” The continuous disrespectful and insulting conduct displayed by Suryaneel Babu towards Mamata Banerjee since the day of the election counting deserves strong condemnation. After Mr. Suvendu Adhikari assumed responsibility, how does the government explain this alarming lack of security and decorum even inside the judicial premises? If such incidents can occur at the High Court itself, serious questions naturally arise about the safety and democratic atmosphere prevailing across Bengal today. Suvendu Adhikari BJP West Bengal

Buddhist monks have long been regarded as symbols of peace, compassion, and harmony across the world. Yet, under Maharashtra’s double-engine BJP government, we are witnessing the disturbing sight of monks standing in front of bulldozers, pleading and protesting to protect Lord Buddha’s statue and their places of worship. It is deeply unfortunate that a government ( BJP) claiming to uphold religious values is perceived as hurting the sentiments of an entire community. At the same time, the livelihoods of countless hawkers and small vendors are being affected. Respect for all faiths, compassion, coexistence, and humanity are among the core values associated with Sanatan Dharma. Actions that appear to disregard these principles raise serious questions about the commitment to those ideals. Faith should unite people, not become a source of fear or distress.

BJP-backed hooligans are vandalising the office of the Trinamool Youth Congress. So this is the kind of politics Bengal BJP stands for — leaders preach peace and non-violence in public, while their cadres continue attacking political opponents with impunity. Is this what they called the “government of change”? A change marked by intimidation, vandalism, and political violence. BJP West Bengal

A state cannot be governed through fear or police excesses. Democracy cannot survive under autocratic rule or politically biased policing. Law enforcement must act impartially, beyond party colours and political interests. When BJP-backed miscreants attack Trinamool workers, or when bulldozers are used without prior legal notice, can that ever be called justice? We are not afraid of opposition politics or intimidation. If the Honourable CM says that 12,000 young men will be sent to jail, then we will stand beside those 12,000 youths and take the fight to the streets. Say it loud: The struggle to protect democracy will continue.

Today’s attack on Abhishek Banerjee is a stark reflection of the complete breakdown of law and order in West Bengal. It exposes how deeply democratic values have eroded under an ineffective administration. Targeting a sitting Member of Parliament and a representative of the opposition with eggs, bricks, and other projectiles is unacceptable in any democratic society. His security had already been reduced, making this incident even more alarming. A government that fails to ensure the safety of elected representatives cannot claim to be upholding democratic principles or maintaining public order. Such incidents raise serious questions about governance, accountability, and the rule of law. I strongly condemn this attack and express my deep disapproval of the BJP government for allowing the situation to deteriorate to such an extent. BJP West Bengal #DGPolice

“Either chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’, or stop driving your Toto” — is this the kind of intimidation people are expected to accept now? Is the BJP government trying to threaten the livelihood of ordinary working people simply because they refuse to chant a particular slogan? Should someone’s daily bread and survival depend on political allegiance or forced slogans? Is this really the “change” the people of Bengal voted for — where fear, coercion, and political pressure dictate the lives of common citizens? Suvendu Adhikari BJP West Bengal
