For the second consecutive day, four BJP women legislators took to the streets outside the West Bengal assembly, voicing their dissent against recent violence targeting women in the state. The protests, ignited by incidents in North Dinajpur and Cooch Behar, mark a significant moment in the ongoing political conflict between the BJP and the ruling Trinamool Congress.
Leading the charge, BJP's Asansol MLA Agnimitra Paul emphasized the party's commitment to seeking justice for the assaulted couple in North Dinajpur and the allegedly tortured woman in Cooch Behar. Speaking to reporters, Paul highlighted the precarious state of women's safety in West Bengal under the current administration.
A viral video depicting the assault has garnered widespread attention, though its authenticity remains unverified. Authorities have arrested the accused, identified as Tajmul alias JCB, associated with Chopra MLA Hamidul Islam. The Trinamool Congress has publicly condemned the incidents, distancing itself from such actions.
