The situation in Sandeshkhali, West Bengal, has escalated into a significant political and social issue, drawing national attention and intervention from various political leaders and parties. PM Modi is expected to meet the victims, as indicated by Bengal BJP's Suvendu Adhikari. Reports of several women being molested and allegations of land grabbing have surfaced, with one woman filing a rape complaint. The Supreme Court cautioned against comparing the violence in Sandeshkhali to that in Manipur, highlighting the unique severity of the situation. The National Commission for Women (NCW) chief has called for President's Rule and the resignation of CM Mamata Banerjee, accusing the TMC of echoing the BJP's narrative. The Governor of West Bengal, CV Ananda Bose, visited the area, issuing a helpline number and establishing a peace home at Raj Bhavan for affected women. The Information and Broadcasting Minister, Anurag Thakur, condemned attacks on media freedom, specifically the detainment of a journalist by West Bengal Police for reporting on Sandeshkhali atrocities. The Calcutta High Court allowed BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari to visit Sandeshkhali, amidst a war of words between the BJP and TMC over the violence. CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat and other political figures were stopped by police from visiting the area, despite court permissions and Section 144 CrPC. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma commented on the dire situation in Bengal, criticizing the state's handling of journalists and the overall law and order. Union Minister Smriti Irani and BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad have also spoken out, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations of assault, sexual exploitation, and the political silence surrounding the issue.
