TMC leader Madan Mitra has courted controversy by claiming that those involved in violence and attacks on police during BJP's recent march to the West Bengal secretariat can be "taught a lesson in just 10 minutes".
Mitra, however, added that the Trinamool Congress is not in favour of such an action in retaliation to BJP's "disruptive policies". The former state minister바카라s comments come close on the heels of TMC general secretary and MP Abhishek Banerjee바카라s remark that 바카라if I was there, I would have shot the violent protesters in the head바카라.
Mitra, speaking at a public meeting in Kamarhati constituency on Sunday, said, "If there is an instruction from the party, it won't take more than 10 minutes to thrash those who were involved in hooliganism and vandalism (during BJP바카라s 바카라Nabanna Abhijan바카라 on September 14). We can retaliate with double the force than the attackers.바카라
The maverick MLA also said TMC has emphasised it wants development not violence. 바카라It speaks the language of love and compassion, not vandalism.바카라 Senior BJP leader Rahul Sinha hit back, saying TMC leaders are increasingly making 바카라dangerous comments바카라, and they have lost the support of people.
Over 20 people have been arrested in specific cases of assault on police officers, and destruction of government property in Kolkata and Howrah during the rally. The saffron camp has maintained that none of their workers were involved in violence at the march.
