Ahead of the forthcoming Assembly by-elections, the Trinamul Congress (TMC) on Saturday filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) against Union minister and state BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar over his alleged derogatory remark against state police.
Besides the complaint against Mr Majumdar, the party also filed a separate complaint to the poll panel alleging the central forces of engaging in illegal activities at the behest of West Bengal BJP leaders.
The delegation comprised leader of TMC parliamentary party in Lok Sabha Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Leader of TMC parliamentary party in Rajya Sabha Derek O'Brien, MP Kirti Azad and Rajya Sabha MPs Sushmita Dev and Saket Gokhale.
In its complaint, the TMC wrote, "It has come to our notice that on 7 November, Sukanta Majumdar who is the BJP state president in West Bengal, delivered a false, derogatory and defamatory speech during an election rally in poll-bound Taldangra. He has also insulted the state emblem of India and the state police by stating that police personnel should replace the emblem on their uniforms with icons resembling footwear."
"Don't act as an agent of Trinamul. Remove the Ashoka Stambh on your uniform and replace it with the symbol of a sandal. Don't hide behind the uniform," the party quoted Majumdar as saying.
