Raids relate to January assault on ED officials in Bengal village. Friday’s recoveries were made from 2 premises near house of local TMC strongman Sheikh Shahjahan.
Report names 3 TMC leaders — Shibu Hazra, Uttam Sardar and Amir Ali Ghazi — as accused. All are currently in jail. TMC's Kunal Ghosh dismisses report, says 'NHRC is a BJP cadre'.
Central agency has filed 3 FIRs in connection with attack that took place at Bongaon & Sandeshkhali in January. Action came following order of Calcutta High Court.
Sheikh Shahjahan's escape from Sandeshkhali following an attack on ED officials ignited a TMC vs BJP war. Now his arrest, nearly two months later, has set off a custody battle.
The election campaign in the next few months will demonstrate if the man whose body language reeked of arrogance and inexplicable confidence just after his arrest is an asset for TMC or a liability.
It is obscene that a man so detached from India should occupy such a powerful position in a party that governed India for most of its republican history.
About 300 employees had called in sick Wednesday, allegedly in protest against mismanagement of airlines. Remaining staff given ultimatum to rejoin work by end of Thursday.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
