TMC leader attacked outside police station in West Bengal

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has lodged complaints after party leader Humayun Kabir was reportedly attacked outside a police station in West Bengal, reigniting concerns about escalating political violence in the state.

TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee condemned the incident, stating that political disagreements should never serve as justification for violence. He questioned the effectiveness of the state's law enforcement and administrative machinery in maintaining public order and protecting citizens.

Banerjee attributed the attack to what he characterized as administrative failure, emphasizing that the state government and police force have fallen short in their responsibility to ensure citizen safety and prevent political violence. The remarks reflect growing tensions within Bengal's political landscape.

The incident adds to a pattern of reported clashes and confrontations between rival political groups across West Bengal in recent months. TMC leaders have previously raised alarm over what they describe as targeted violence against party workers and leaders during this period of heightened political activity in the state.
