Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 2 (ANI): Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Saturday criticised BJP on Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and said another person from West Bengal's Purba Bardhaman had died allegedly of fear sparked by SIR.
In a post on X, the TMC said the latest casualty was Bimal Santra, a migrant worker from Nabagram village under Jamalpur in Purba Bardhaman district.
'Another precious life lost to @BJP4India's politics of fear and hatred,' the post reads. 'In just a few days we have seen: 57-year-old Pradeep Kar of Panihati who died by suicide and blamed the NRC in his note. A 63-year-old man from Jitpur, Dinhata, Cooch Behar, who attempted to take his life, terrified of harassment under the SIR process. A 95-year-old Khitish Majumder of Kotwali, Paschim Medinipur, living with his daughter in Ilambazar, Birbhum, who ended his life,' the TMC said in a post on X. https://x.com/AITCofficial/status/1984662619270365666
'This is the human cost of an exercise designed to terrorise and displace. SIR is an instrument of intimidation, driving our people to despair, forcing them to question their citizenship and their right to belong. @BJP4India, your hands are stained with blood,' the TMC said, adding that the people of 'Bengal will seek justice, and we will make sure they answer for every life ruined by their politics of hate.'
Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will hit the streets in Kolkata on November 4 to protest against the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
She will also be joined by party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee in a protest rally.https://x.com/AITCofficial/status/1984585575580778689
'Our Hon'ble Chairperson Smt @MamataOfficial and our Hon'ble National General Secretary Shri @abhishekaitc will hit the streets on 4th November 2025, FIGHTING once again for the RIGHTS OF PEOPLE. The so-called Special Intensive Revision is actually SILENT INVISIBLE RIGGING. We will leave NO STONE UNTURNED to ensure that ALL ELIGIBLE VOTERS are included and not left behind in this process. For our people, we will give our all!.' the TMC said in a post on X.
Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar said that TMC wants to stop SIR in any possible way.
'Has anyone's death occurred just because of SIR? Has any doctor said that? No. Because this is a political claim. The Trinamool Congress wants to stop SIR in any way possible... If any person is receiving any facility illegally, and you try to stop it, naturally, they will oppose it... SIR is happening in many places, but there are no deaths occurring there... This means that something is wrong in Bengal...,' Majumdar said. (ANI)
