On Thursday, Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, appeared before the Calcutta High Court dressed in a black lawyer’s gown, in connection with a case related to allegations of post-poll violence in the state following the Trinamool Congress’s (TMC) drubbing in the Assembly elections.
The case, was filed by Shirshanya Bandopadhyay, the son of senior TMC leader and advocate Kalyan Bandopadhyay, pertains to allegations of attacks on political workers and party offices following the high-stakes elections that ended the party's 15-year rule and brought the BJP to power in the state.
In a post on X, the TMC said her physical appearance in court today reflected her continued commitment, saying that "she never abandons the people of Bengal in their hour of need"and remains committed in her fight for truth, justice, and constitutional values.
It added that she consistently rises above what it described as the politics of hatred, demonstrating “compassion, courage and conviction.”
"Whether confronting the injustice of SIR or standing firm against the unruly conduct of BJP, she continues to prove that there is truly no leader like her in the country today," it further added.
The case, which remains under judicial consideration, comes at a politically turbulent moment for the TMC, which is facing internal churn and mounting criticism following its historic defeat.
