KOLKATA — Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee, on Tuesday, alleged a violation of constitutional principles and democratic rights and claimed that while other political parties are granted permissions, her party is deliberately denied the same and forced to approach courts for democratic programmes.
In a virtual address, Banerjee said that “thousands of false cases” have been filed against her party’s workers and citizens, and panchayats, municipalities and zilla parishads are being taken over “by force”, delimitation is being planned, and the Census process has begun without consulting political parties, Trinamool included.
The former Bengal chief minister expressed deep shock over the disrespect shown to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose allegedly by some leaders of the party in power, stating that their insults target Bengal and the nation.
Banerjee reported financial restrictions on bank accounts and unpaid royalties from her books, alongside personal attacks and abusive language.
