According to eyewitness accounts and the circulated video footage, the mob targeted the BJP supporters, inflicting severe injuries and leaving them in a state of distress. Shockingly, despite the gravity of the incident, there have been no reported actions taken against the perpetrators, prompting criticism and questioning the direction of West Bengal’s governance.

This alarming episode underscores broader concerns about the state of democracy and freedom of expression in West Bengal. Critics argue that the apparent lack of accountability for such acts of violence reflects a worrying trend towards authoritarianism and stifling dissent.

As voices across the political spectrum condemn the attack and call for justice, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of upholding democratic principles and safeguarding the rights of all citizens, regardless of their political affiliations. It also raises urgent questions about the trajectory of West Bengal’s political landscape and the future of democracy in the region.
