BENGAL ‘SIR SUICIDE’ ROW
-
West Bengal's political domain remained abuzz Wednesday, with the TMC and BJP exchanging sharp accusations over the suicide of a man on the outskirts of Kolkata and a suicide bid by another person in Cooch Behar, both of who allegedly panicked in the wake of the SIR exercise to determine voting eligibility.
While Trinamool’s national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee called people to confront and “tie up” local BJP leaders to “trees and poles” if they asked for their parents’ birth certificates, the state’s Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari slammed the ruling dispensation for “peddling lies over the tragic death of a man for political dividends”.
Abhishek made his remark after visiting the family of 57-year-old Pradeep Kar, who allegedly died by suicide at Panihati in North 24 Parganas district Tuesday, allegedly over fear of SIR while leaving a suicide note behind where he reportedly mentioned his anxiety over ‘NRC’.
