The arrest of Vinesh Chandel, co-founder of I-PAC, barely 10 days before the Bengal elections, is not just alarming- It shakes the very idea of a level playing field.
At a time when WB should be moving toward free and fair elections, this kind of action sends a chilling message: If you work with the opposition, you could be next. That’s not democracy- that’s intimidation!
What makes it even harder to ignore is the double standard. Those facing serious corruption allegations seem to find protection the moment they switch sides, while others are swiftly targeted at politically convenient moments. People are not blind to this anymore.
When institutions meant to protect democracy start feeling like tools of pressure, trust begins to erode. On one side, the Election Commission. On the other, agencies like the ED, NIA, CBI stepping in at the most sensitive time. It creates an atmosphere of fear, not fairness.
India has always taken pride in its democracy- loud, messy but free. But today, many are beginning to ask: are we still that country?
This is bigger than one arrest. It is about whether our institutions remain independent and whether every citizen, no matter their political belief, can participate without fear.
Because once fear replaces freedom, democracy becomes just a word.
To Amit Shah and the BJP’s power structure- Be in Bengal on the 4th and 5th of May. Come with Gyanesh Kumar and every agency you deploy. Bengal will not be bullied, will not be silenced and will not bow. This is a land that answers pressure with resistance and it will show you exactly what that means!
I am deeply honoured by the trust reposed in me by our party chairperson Didi @MamataOfficial and my fellow MPs of the All India Trinamool Congress, in choosing me to lead our parliamentary party in the Lok Sabha.
With full commitment and humility, I take on this responsibility and pledge to work closely with all my colleagues to ensure that Trinamool’s voice remains strong and unwavering in Parliament. Together, we will continue to resist the authoritarianism of the Union Government and defend the core values of our Constitution - JUSTICE, LIBERTY, EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY.
Our mission remains clear: To protect the rights, respect and aspirations of the people of Bengal. I thank every dedicated worker and supporter of the @AITCofficial for their continued belief in me and our cause and I am also extremely grateful to our senior parliamentarians for their invaluable support, guidance and encouragement.
জয় হিন্দ । জয় বাংলা । 💪🏼
As we step into the new year, I take a moment to reflect on the journey we have shared in 2024. This year has tested our endurance, pushing us to confront every challenge head-on and emerge stronger, unyielding in our commitment to stand against those who seek to divide and deprive us.
2024 has been a year of profound personal and professional growth, a time when we braved all obstacles and adversities to serve people selflessly. What has truly stood out is the love and blessings of Gonodebota. Without their grace, we would be incomplete.
I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you for making this year memorable.
Aap CHRONOLOGY samjhiye:
👉🏻 HM @AmitShah insults Babasaheb Ambedkar on the floor of the Parliament
👉🏻 Instead of asking him to apologise, PM @narendramodi backs him up
👉🏻 Far from showing remorse, the Home Minister defends his actions
👉🏻 Now, a statue of Babasaheb Ambedkar has been vandalised in the PM and the HM's home state, Gujarat
@BJP4India's contempt for constitutional principles, their aversion to the values Babasaheb stood for, and their disdain for the Dalit community can't be more OBVIOUS! An APOLOGY is long overdue!
A heartfelt Merry Christmas to all! May this season of joy remind us of the strength in diversity and the power of togetherness.
Let us work hand in hand to build a future where every citizen feels valued and every dream is nurtured. Wishing you all a season filled with peace and happiness!
सभी को 'हिंदी दिवस' की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। हम सभी भाषाओँ का सम्मान करते हैं ।
2011 के बाद से, राज्य में हिंदी भाषी लोगों के उत्थान के लिए हमने कई प्रयास किए हैं। हिंदी अकादमी की स्थापना से लेकर हिंदी विश्वविद्यालय और कई हिंदी कॉलेजों की स्थापना तक – ये सब हमारी उपलब्धियां हैं, जिन पर मुझे गर्व है।
Stunned, shocked, and saddened by the sudden demise of my long-time colleague Sri Saurabh Kumar Das.
A senior member of the Indian Administrative Service of West Bengal cadre, he headed our Panchayat and PHE departments, rose to become the State Election Commissioner, and was the Chairman of the West Bengal Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation too. Ever smiling and ever helpful, he will be remembered as an excellent officer and a perfect gentleman.
My sincere condolences to his family, friends and fraternity.
The All India Trinamool Congress firmly disassociates itself from and strongly condemns the statement made by Shri Firhad Hakim, MIC GoWB, at an event day before yesterday. These comments do not reflect the party’s position or ideology.
Our commitment to peace, unity, and communal harmony remains unwavering. Any remarks that threaten the social fabric of West Bengal will be met with strict measures.
आप सभी को दोलयात्रा एवं होली की हार्दिक शुभनन्दन।
बंगाल के सभी लोग शांति-सद्भाव-प्रेम के रंग में रंग जाएं - यही मेरी प्रार्थना है।
स्वस्थ रहें, सानन्द रहें।
Over the past 10 days, while the nation has been protesting against the #RGKarMedicalcollege incident and demanding justice, 900 RAPES have occurred across different parts of India - DURING THE VERY TIME WHEN PEOPLE WERE ON THE STREETS PROTESTING AGAINST THIS HORRIBLE CRIME.
Sadly, a lasting solution still remains largely undiscussed.
With 90 RAPES REPORTED DAILY, 4 EVERY HOUR AND 1 EVERY 15 MINUTES - the urgency for a decisive action is clear. We need strong laws that mandate TRIALS & CONVICTIONS WITHIN 50 days, followed by the severest punishments, not just empty promises. State governments must act and urgently push the Union for a comprehensive anti-rape law that ensures swift and strict justice. Anything less is merely symbolic and tragically ineffective.
WAKE UP INDIA!
