Mahua Moitra demands "apology" from Sukanta Majumdar on derogatory remark for Bengal CM

Kolkata: Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra condemned West Bengal BJP Chief Sukanta Majumdar's derogatory remarks allegedly against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and demanded an "apology" for his comments. Moitra, expressing her dismay, characterized the remarks as shameful and reflective of the depth of depravity to which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) can allegedly sink.
"The head of the Bengal BJP who's also an MP, has just publicly made a speech where he calls for physical violence to be used against the chief minister of Bengal Mamata Banerjee. It is absolutely shameful and just shows the depths to which the BJP can sink. This is a party that disrespects women," Moitra said in a self-made video on Monday.
She further said that the Prime Minister keeps talking about Nari Shakti. Prime Minister your head of the BJP in Bengal has just called for the public to slap the chief minister. "We've never heard of something so outrageous. We expect an apology from your misogynist patriarchal help in Bengal and we would also expect everyone in your party to come out and denounce these comments," she said. Coming down heavily on the Bengal BJP chief, West Bengal Minister and TMC leader Shashi Panja alleged that Majumdar is provoking the public to slap CM Mamata Banerjee through his speeches. "Sukanta Majumdar BJP president in Bengal speaks venom again. Derogatory words, inflammatory speeches and he is provoking the public to slap CM Mamata Banerjee. This is their aptitude; this is the respect they show to women. This is a central government that does atrocities against women. Do not punish the perpetrators," she said. Earlier this month, TMC called for an unconditional apology from Majumdar after he allegedly made obscene remarks towards Mamata.
