Eggs, stones thrown at TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee

In West Bengal, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee was allegedly attacked during his visit to Sonarpur on Saturday, where he had gone to meet the families of post-poll violence victims. Eggs and stones were thrown at Banerjee during the visit, while BJP workers allegedly raised "chor chor" slogans against him. Security personnel escorted the TMC leader wearing a helmet amid the attack. “These are all hooligans backed by the BJP,” Banerjee said.".I would draw Calcutta high court and the governor's attention on the absence of police personnel. I would move the high court,” he said.

It's not even a month and TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee beaten up by locals during his visit to Sonarpur to meet the post-poll victims' families.

“When the junior doctor was raped at RG Kar Hospital, TMC leaders never went to meet her parents. TMC shielded the accused persons...We will not leave him,” said a woman at scene. “He is a sand mafia and a coal smuggler. We will thrash him. We will kill him. He has to answer why women were raped in West Bengal,” said another woman.
“Had the TMC come to power this time, by now at least 500 BJP workers would have been killed. Had it been the CPIM or the Congress in power, the man (Banerjee) who gave statements...would have been lynched. We have seen the atrocities and violence unleashed by the TMC leaders in the past in South 24 Parganas. I would urge all political parties to maintain peace and shun violence. Every political party should respect the people’s mandate,” said Samik Bhattacharya, state BJP president.
