Abhijit Ray, Kolkata: –Today is the historic 21st of July. Trinamool martyrs day. Apparently more than 5 lakhs of TMC supporters have attended the meeting at Esplanade area at Kolkata. Not the euphoria over the victory of the panchayat, but on Friday, July 21, Trinamool President Mamata Banerjee gave a message of sympathy to Manipur. From the stage of the Mahasambesh, she criticized the BJP and the Modi government for the violence in Manipur. 1 minute silence was observed in sympathy with the two women who were killed and sexually assaulted in Manipur.Most of the Trinamool President’s speech from the stage on this day was a strong condemnation of brutal oppression of women in Manipur.Targeting the Modi government, Mamata Banerjee said, “Where has the Beti Bachao slogan gone? Betty is burning Manipur is burning, the whole country is burning the same happened to wrestlers The same happened in Bilkis case Bail has been arranged for the rapists.”Mamata Banerjee said, “On behalf of Bangladesh and I.N.D.I.A., we express solidarity to the people of Manipur.Beti Bachao Slogan Where did the BJP go? Betty is burning today. In Manipur, the country. Released those who tortured Bilqis. He did not pay attention to the complaints of the boxers. And this is the situation in Manipur. Women will throw the BJP out in the coming polls.”Directly attacking the Prime Minister, Mamata Banerjee said, “Don’t you feel a little sad for the mothers-sisters-daughters!” Pointed finger towards Bengal.I have only one humble question to you, for how long Beti will burn, Dalit burn, people die. How much longer? We are not leaving Manipur.”At least 1,000 people have died in Manipur over the past few months. A brutal video of Manipur women came to light last Thursday. On this day, Mamata Banerjee also talked about the plan to send a delegation to Manipur on behalf of the opposition alliance INDIA. He said that he has spoken to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal about this.A delegation of Chief Ministers from INDIA is planning to visit Manipur. He wants to talk to the people in the camp. A minute’s silence is observed at the end.Bombings, firing, bloodshed – the opposition has alleged terror in the state in the name of panchayat polls. However, Mamata Banerjee refuted the allegations from the stage of 21 July TMC Shahid Diwas. He is of the opinion that it is not right to call the loss of life as political in the panchayat election atmosphere. Mamata appealed to the party workers and supporters to form the board peacefully.Mamata Banerjee accepts violence in panchayat elections. According to the Trinamool leader’s claim, a total of 15 people lost their lives on polling day. And so far, a total of 29 people have lost their lives in panchayat poll-related violence in the state. 3 each of CPM and BJP have lost a total of 6 deaths. The rest are grassroots workers. Mamata claims that out of 71,000 booths there was unrest in 3 booths.Referring to the Panchayat elections of 2003 and 2008, Mamata said, “In the Panchayat elections, 70,000 policemen of Bengal were in charge of security. 80 thousand of Delhi. They are all negative. Sorry for what happened. During Buddhadev Bhattacharya’s tenure, 89 people lost their lives in panchayat polls in 2003 and 39 in 2008.”Mamata claims violence in panchayat polls is a ‘social problem’. He said, “4 members of the same family contested in the panchayat polls. Sometimes father against son. Mother fights against daughter. There is a quarrel. It is a social problem.” Mamata claims that BJP is planning and trying to create unrest. Therefore, the Trinamool supremo requested to form the board peacefully.
