Kolkata, Oct 03 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will lead a protest march tomorrow against the Hathras “gangrape” incident.

Meanwhile, taking strong exception to Friday’s incident at Hathras, the Trinamool Congress upped its ante against the BJP Government in Uttar Pradesh.
Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien said, ” #GandhiJayanti International day of non-violence a brave reporter shot video of @AITCofficial MP Pratima Mondal (SC) here at Hathras 1km from victim’s home.We r here on a peaceful mission to pay condolences to the grieving family. Lady MP was MANHANDLED by UP SDM #HathrasHorror.”
Party MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar said, “Today under @myogiadityanath ji’s surveillance state: Stopped from entering the #Hathras braveheart’s village. Unarmed, peaceful protest, show of solidarity by other women— forgotten deeds in @narendramodi ji’s dictatorship model. Shame on
@BJP4India.”
Another party MP Kalyan Banerjee said, “@jdhankhar1 see how the woman MP of the
@AITCofficial had been detained and assaulted by the @UPPolice.”
“If you are at all a human being, immediately protest against these brutal activities. Otherwise we will think you have been born to serve the antisocial of the @BJP4India members and their hooligan police forces,” Banerjee stated.
State Higher Education Minister and party secretary-general Partha Chatterjee said, “Our
@AITCofficial leaders will not back down at any cost! @narendramodi ji, @myogiadityanath
ji, the more you try to stifle our voices, the more we will fight every tooth and nail to ensure justice for #Hathras!”
“Clearly cops in the @BJP4UP government are trained to behave like “Gundas”! Heckling MPs, manhandling females is what @narendramodi ji has taught them! This Gundaraj is absolutely unacceptable & @AITCofficial will continue fighting against it! #DalitLivesMatter #Derek #Hathras,” the party tweeted.
