In his letter, Majumdar urged “immediate attention” to Banerjee’s remarks made during her address to the TMC’s Student Wing in Kolkata. He highlighted her statements where she claimed not to seek revenge but implied taking necessary actions.
Meanwhile on August 27, tensions escalated in Kolkata as police used tear gas, water cannons, and lathi charges to disperse protesters marching towards the state secretariat, Nabanna. The unrest was fueled by protests over the alleged rape and murder of a female trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9, which sparked nationwide outrage and numerous rallies.
