Abhishek Banerjee thanks Rahul Gandhi for support after attack, says INDIA Bloc stands united
Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee thanked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for extending support after he was allegedly attacked by a mob during a visit to Sonarpur in West Bengal.
Banerjee said the opposition INDIA bloc remains united and will continue its political fight against the BJP despite recent challenges and violence.
In a message posted on social media, Banerjee expressed gratitude to Gandhi for personally reaching out following the incident.
He stressed that opposition parties would continue working together and described the alliance’s unity as crucial in countering the BJP politically.
The attack reportedly took place when Banerjee was visiting families affected by alleged post-poll violence in South 24 Parganas.
Videos circulating online showed protests, with eggs, stones, and other objects allegedly thrown at the TMC leader.
The Trinamool Congress blamed BJP supporters for the incident, while the BJP claimed the attack reflected growing public anger against the party.
The episode comes amid escalating political tensions in West Bengal, where reports of clashes and attacks involving leaders from both parties have intensified in recent weeks.
Another TMC MP, Kalyan Banerjee, also alleged an attack in Hooghly, further deepening the political confrontation between the ruling alliance and the opposition.
