BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul and other legislators walked out of the assembly after they tried to move adjournment motion in the assembly against atrocities on women all across Bengal. “The people of Bengal will soon get relief. We are all trying to bring relief.

Every day, girls and women are tortured and they feel unsafe. BJP’s women MLAs have protested inside the state assembly. Women BJP workers led by Mohila Morcha chief Falguni Patra have started sit-in protests for 48 hours, starting from today protesting atrocities against women,” Suvendu Adhiakri said.

“BJP is worried about women’s protection and will continue to protest both inside and outside the assembly,” he said, adding, “We will again raise the law & order situation and torture on women in the assembly. An adjournment motion will be brought tomorrow in the state assembly.” After BJP MLAs’ proposal for adjournment motion was not accepted by the assembly Speaker, “We have given an application but the Speaker said he will look into it later. Women’s safety is a more important issue,” BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul said.

“If someone gives you a letter and immediately demands discussion, such cannot happen in assembly. Rule must be followed for everything,” Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay commented while running the session today. “Several incidents happened in Bengal.

A teenaged student was allegedly gangraped and she died in hospital today. In Malda, two tribal women were stripped, beaten and forced to sit in the police station naked,” Paul said, after walking out the assembly. She emphasized that the issues of torture on women related to Bengal must be discussed and then, they are ready to discuss Manipur.
