TMC Alleges Police Misuse Against Its Leaders in West Bengal, Plans Legal Challenges
Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha deputy leader Sagarika Ghose accused the West Bengal BJP-led government of misusing police powers to target TMC leaders and activists. She alleged that FIRs were not uploaded online as mandated, mandatory notices were not served, and old cases were revived to harass party members. Ghose described these actions as violations of constitutional and human rights and vowed to challenge them nationally and internationally. The police questioning of senior TMC leaders, including Derek O'Brien and Abhishek Banerjee, was cited amid these allegations.
