Marching TMC MPs stopped on way to PM residence

While TMC is protesting across West Bengal over the latest arrest of party MP Sudip Bandopadhyay by the CBI, in the national capital the 36 TMC MPs decided to take the battle to the PM residence.

"We were stopped on way, two of our MPs were injured and women MPs were heckled with no women police in sight," said TMC MP Saugata Roy.

The TMC MPs were taken to Tughlaq Road police station as they changed "Modi Hatao Desh Bachao. (Remove Mod and Save the Country).

TMC said their protest against demonetisation would continue under Mamata Banerjee. They also demanded arrest of Babul Supriyo for his alleged ties with Rose Valley.

In Bengal while a protest of TMC before the housing complex in which BJP MP Babul Supriyo lives went violent, in one incident the house of a senior BJP leader i was bombed allegedly by supporters of the ruling Trinamool Congress late Tuesday night, hours after the attack on the party's state headquarters in Kolkata after the arrest of TMC MP Sudip Bandopadhyay in connection with the Rose Valley chit fund scam, said reports.

BJP leader Krishna Bhattacharya's house in  Uttarpara in Hooghly district was bombed by "Three men with their faces covered."

Bhattacharya alleged that the miscreants entered the house, "smashed windowpanes, damaged furniture, abused and assaulted me."

She has sustained injuries and is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
.
Condemning the attack, senior BJP leader Sidharth Nath Singh said, "If Mamata Banerjee wants to say it's going to be 'Trinamool-bandi', let me assure her that BJP is determined and we will remove their 'bhrashtachar-bandi' and 'gunda-bandi' from Bengal."

Last week, the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested TMC MP  Tapas Pal, an actor-turned-politician, for his alleged involvement in a ponzi scheme of the now defunct Saradha company in which lakhs of small investors were allegedly cheated.

In another case of similar nature, Bandopadhyay, a very senior TMC leader and a long time close aide of Mamata Banerjee, was arrested by CBI following hours of grilling.

Banerjee alleged that the arrests are being made as part of Narendra Modi's "politics of vendetta" against her anti-notes ban movement.

The BJP headquarter in Kolkata was on Tuesday attacked by the angry Trinamool Congress supporters over the CBI arrest of Sudip Bandopadhyay. At least 20 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, who are generally used for VVIP's security, have been deployed in and around the BJP headquarters in Kolkata.
