Nadda slams Mamata Banerjee-led govt, says West Bengal unsafe for women

Coming down heavily on the Trinamool Congress-led government in West Bengal over a "horrific" video of a man assaulting a woman in Chopra in West Bengal's Uttar Dinajpur, Bharatiya Janata Party Janata Party Janata Party President JP Nadda said on Monday that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee' state is "unsafe for women."

"A horrific video has come to light from West Bengal, reminding of the brutalities that exist only in theocracies. To make matters worse, the TMC cadre and MLAs are justifying the act. Be it Sandeshkhali, Uttar Dinajpur or many other places, Didi's West Bengal is UNSAFE for women," Nadda posted on X.

The West Bengal police on Sunday filed a suo motu case and arrested one person in connection with the video in which a person is seen beating a woman at Chopra in the Islampur area of Uttar Dinajpur district.
