The Lok Sabha MP staged a dharna, alleging police inaction. He also asserted that the TMC would continue its protests against "BJP-sponsored attacks". A large police contingent and central forces were deployed in the area to prevent any further escalation. The BJP denied the allegations and claimed that locals were expressing their anger against TMC leaders across the state. The party also said that Kalyan wanted to grab some limelight and hence, staged the entire drama.
The incident occurred a day after the party's national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, was attacked in Sonarpur. On Saturday, Abhishek went to visit the family members of a Trinamool Congress worker, who was subjected to post-poll violence. As soon as the Diamond Harbour MP stepped out of his car, a mob consisting of men and women started raising 'chor, choir (thieves) slogan.
