The situation in Sandeshkhali, West Bengal, has escalated following allegations of violence and sexual assault against women, leading to widespread protests and political confrontations. The violence has drawn sharp reactions from both the ruling TMC and the opposition BJP, with each blaming the other for the unrest. BJP leaders, including West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar and Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, have been actively protesting, leading to clashes with the police, including a lathi charge. Majumdar was injured during one such clash and had to be hospitalized at Apollo Hospital. The West Bengal Governor, CV Ananda Bose, has also been actively involved, visiting the injured at the hospital and submitting a report to the Centre on the incident. The imposition of Section 144 and the suspension of BJP MLAs from the Assembly have further intensified the situation. The National Commission for Scheduled Castes has taken note of the situation, indicating a deepening crisis. Protests have spread beyond West Bengal, with BJP Mahila Morcha staging protests in Hyderabad, demanding action against the accused and calling for CM Mamata Banerjee's resignation.
