In Sandeshkhali protests, message for Mamata, TMC

Hindustan Times  

Protests boiled over in West Bengal’s Sandeshkhali earlier this month, blowing the lid off a dark web of alleged sexual exploitation, extensive landgrab, intimidation and violence perpetrated by Sheikh Shahjahan, a local Trinamool Congress leader, with a feral gang of extreme malcontents. On February 8, women hit the streets in Sandeshkhali protesting against the extreme indignities and exploitation they had been allegedly subjected to for a decade or so by Shahjahan and his associates — Shibaprasad Hazra, Uttam Sardar and Sirajuddin, Shahjahan’s brother. The next day, the director-general of police and additional director-general of police went to Sandeshkhali and promised residents their grievances would be dealt with, but they should not take matters into their own hands, while Maiti was told that action would be taken against him if he was found guilty of involvement in Shahjahan’s depredations. Lakshmir Bhandar, like the groundbreaking Kanyashree scheme to encourage girls' education, has gained for West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee a near-messianic following among women.
