Former West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee with Abhishek Banerjee
“At this moment, 14,000 of our people in Bengal are facing the brunt of police and political atrocities.
This is an attempt to intimidate and silence an entire generation… we must never surrender our constitutional rights. ” She added, “Democracy is being murdered in many parts of the country. Let us stand together and save our Mother India’,” said the former CM. In an X post, Mamata wrote: “We, and many generations before us, have fought strongly for our democratic rights. We must continue to do so. I strongly condemn the arrest of Ashutosh and Saurav of CJP. These moments are about us all, pledging and standing up to fight unitedly to protect our great democracy. A govt that has forgotten that ‘it is of the people, by the people, for the people’ is nearing its end.
To the millions of young people, I say: ‘Your Didi is with you – today and forever!
