Rift in TMC out in open after leaders' remarks on rape
Hindustan Times Noida
|June 30, 2025
The tussle within the Trinamool Congress over the gang rape of a 24-year-old college student in Kolkata intensified on Sunday, as the party's Lok Sabha MP Kalyan Banerjee launched a personal attack on fellow parliamentarian Mahua Moitra, while the party issued a show cause notice to another leader, Madan Mitra, over his "insensitive" remarks on the incident.
KOLKATA:
Banerjee's comments came a day after Moitra on Saturday reacted to the TMC issuing a warning for the former and Mitra for not following the party line on the crime. In a post on X, Moitra said, "Misogyny in India cuts across party lines. What differentiates @AITCofficial is that we condemn these disgusting comments no matter who makes them."
Banerjee targeted Moitra on Sunday and made comments about her recent wedding to former Biju Janata Dal MP Pinaki Misra. "She called me anti-woman. She is anti-woman. She has broken a marriage of 35 years and married a 65-year-old man...," Banerjee told mediapersons.
