Reacting to recent Nabanna Abhijan protest march, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra has criticized the demonstration on Tuesday, calling protestors ‘goons’ who provoked a police response.
Taking to X, Moitra said “Police get bricks thrown at them by #WeDontNeedNoEducation ‘Chhatras’, SHO’s head split. Many policemen hurt. And @BJP4Bengal calls bandh to protest police ‘atrocities’. Same old playbook.”
She further added “No – bodies have not fallen. Sorry BJP & GodiMedia to disappoint your ghoulish desires. This is not a common citizen’s march. Students? Women? Barely. A bunch of goons throwing bricks at police & goading them to react.”

Earlier, the Trinamool Congress, on its official X handle, accused the BJP of orchestrating the protest, saying “Make no mistake, this isn’t a protest for justice, it’s chaos orchestrated by @BJP4India – hired goons running amok, smashing barricades and attacking on-duty police officers. This is a deliberate plot to incite unrest and destabilize Bengal.”
