On the Sandeshkhali horror, veteran actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty expressed his anguish over the incident. Union Minister of State of Social Justice Pratima Bhoumik on February 18 attacked West Bengal Chief Minister saying that Mamata Banerjee has made thousands of ‘Sandeshkhali’ in West Bengal. Speaking to ANI, she said, “Sandeshkhali is just one but Mamata Banerjee has made thousands of `Sandeshkhali` in West Bengal. Women of Sandeshkhali have courageously shown the exploitation they`re facing. We also tried to go there but were allowed only till Rampur then stopped. West Bengal police are working as TMC cadres. The situation in Sandeshkahali isn`t good. I want to assure them (women of Sandeshkhali) that we are with you and they don`t need to fear. We’ll submit the report tomorrow.”
