TMC protests greet Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in Murshidabad, he says ‘their workers attacking Cong men’

On Thursday, Chowdhury who is also the state Congress president, wrote a letter to Mamata Banerjee, accusing Trinamool workers of “unleashing violence against Congress workers.”

In his letter to Banerjee, the Congress leader said, “I would like to flag your kind attention to the violence and atrocities committed by the ruling party’s workers in a broad daylight today when houses of Congress party workers were vandalized and looted much to the concern of us.”

He added, “You will be surprised to note that the entire looting and violence took place in the full glare of the local police administration…. Under this precarious situation which has been prevailing over that area, it calls for immediate administrative action against those miscreants.”

He also urged the Chief Minister to immediately intervene “to stem the deteriorating law and order situation and ensure justice to the victims”.

Reacting to the alleged attack on Chowdhury’s vehicle, state minister Firhad Hakim said, “In a democracy, everyone has the right to move everywhere. I don’t know why the protest took place. But we do not support such hooliganism.”
