BJP West Bengal president Sukanta Majumdar has issued a stern demand for the immediate release of students arrested during the Nabanna Abhijan protests. Majumdar, who has been leading the BJP’s charge against the Mamata Banerjee government, accused the state administration of unleashing violence on peaceful demonstrators. He condemned the police for using tear gas, water cannons, and lathi-charges against what he described as a democratic and peaceful protest by students demanding justice. Majumdar’s demand comes amid rising tensions in West Bengal, where the BJP has been at the forefront of protests against the alleged rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at RG Kar Medical College. The incident has become a rallying point for the BJP, which has accused the state government of failing to protect women and suppressing voices demanding justice. Majumdar’s statement reflects the BJP’s strategy of maintaining pressure on the Mamata Banerjee administration, as the party seeks to capitalize on the growing discontent among the state’s populace. The call for the release of arrested students is likely to resonate with many in West Bengal, where the issue of safety and justice for women has become a critical concern.
