BJP Leader Dilip Ghosh Criticizes TMC Over Suspension of Student Leaders in West Bengal
BJP leader Dilip Ghosh took a swipe at the Trinamool Congress (TMC) after two leaders of its student wing, Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP), were suspended for anti-party activities. The suspended leaders, Prantik Chakraborty and Rajanya Halder, were accused of anti-party activities on Friday.
Ghosh stated, “If you are in TMC and oppose its policy to be with the truth, that’s not possible. TMC has taken action against all those who have supported the agitation against the RG Kar incident.” He emphasized the importance of continuing the movement, referring to the doctors’ protests, which he claims will keep the state government in check.
Ghosh accused the TMC government of trying to erase evidence to protect the guilty. He said, “The way discussions are going on about this movement, whoever has supported the movement (RG Kar protests) within their party, TMC has made ‘arrangements’ against it.”
When asked if the surgical students’ strike should continue, Ghosh responded, “Not a strike, but a mass movement (Andolan) should be organised.” He added, “If the government deletes evidence and protects those who are guilty, then a movement should be organised that leaves the government breathless.”
According to Ghosh, there is a lack of security for doctors in West Bengal, leading to unsafe working conditions. He said, “Attacking doctors is a fashion for some people; after it becomes news, it stops for some time.” He pointed out that previous strikes by junior doctors had not yielded any results and stated, “There is no guarantee of security for anyone anywhere in Bengal.”
In an official statement on Friday, Trinankur Bhattachaiyee, President of the West Bengal Trinamool Chhatra Parishad, announced the suspension of its two youth wing leaders. The WBTCP stated, “West Bengal Trinamool Chhatra Parishad hereby suspends Prantik Chakraborty from the post of Vice-President… and Rajanya Halder from the post of Vice-President of Jadavpur-Diamond Harbour District Trinamool Chhatra Parishad for anti-party activities with immediate effect.” The suspension will remain until a decision is made by the disciplinary committee.
