CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Political tensions escalated in West Bengal after eggs were allegedly thrown at a protest march led by Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata. During the rally, some protesters reportedly raised slogans of "Chor, Chor" ("thief, thief"), triggering a brief disruption and drawing significant public attention. Security personnel quickly intervened to maintain order, and the march continued despite the incident.
The rally was organized against the alleged rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl in Baruipur, an issue that has intensified the political confrontation in the state. Ahead of the march, Mamata Banerjee alleged that she had been kept under police surveillance, describing the situation as similar to "house arrest," and accused the administration of acting with political bias. Authorities, however, maintained security arrangements for the event following judicial directions.
The incident comes amid a series of confrontations involving Trinamool Congress leaders in recent weeks, highlighting the increasingly charged political atmosphere in West Bengal. Videos of the egg-throwing and slogan-shouting circulated widely on social media, reigniting debate over political intolerance, public protests, and the need to ensure the safety of political leaders while safeguarding democratic expression.
