Setback to Mamata as SC junks plea on Sandeshkhali
The Daily Guardian
|July 09, 2024
Bengal BJP leaders exulted as the Supreme Court today dismissed a plea by the Mamata Banerjee Ggovernment against transferring Sandeshkhali cases to the CBI.
Reacting to the news of the SC upholding the Calcutta High Court decision to transfer all Sandeshkhali cases to the CBI, Bengal BJP leader Agnimitra Paul said: “Today, the TMC Government was once again left redfaced in the Supreme Court. The court directly asked the Mamata Government that why were they desperate to save the mastermind criminal Shiekh Shahjahan who is directly responsible for countless rape and molestation of several women in Sandeshkhali.”
The Mamata government has always used women to create her own way to the top of her political empire and she is still continuing to ignore the plight of women for her own personal agenda, she said, adding that “as a woman I am ashamed, angry and dismayed seeing the plight of my mothers and sisters of the State. Shame Mamata Banerjee! Shame!”
