WATCH: Mamata Banerjee’s Car Hit By ‘Large Stones, Shoes’; Bengal BJP Chief Condemns Attack

Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee alleged that her convoy was attacked with stones while she was visiting the family of deceased Trinamool Congress worker Birju Keot in North 24 Parganas. According to Banerjee, protesters intercepted her convoy, raised “thief” slogans and threw water bottles and footwear at her vehicle. She alleged that large stones were also hurled at the car, warning that she and others could have been seriously injured or killed had the windows been open. Banerjee said the incident took place in front of the police and accused them of providing protection to the BJP. She questioned the police response, saying she had never witnessed such an incident before. The allegations come amid heightened political tensions in the area.
