My demand: West Bengal needs a Truth and Reconciliation Commission for every victim of political violence and crime under Trinamool Congress rule of 15 years.
A full, public, time-bound inquiry.
Start with Abhijit Sarkar - hunted, killed, his family broken, his old mother sexually abused, his brother forced into a relentless fight for justice.
Then reopen the full record of 2021 post-poll violence, where the Calcutta High Court had to order a CBI probe into serious cases of murder, rape and crimes against women.
Look at all the cases that Bengal was asked to forget.
👉The assault on BJP worker Gopal Majumdar’s elderly mother, Shova Majumdar.
👉 The Birbhum horror, where people were burnt alive.
👉 The Sandeshkhali terror, where women were abused amongst many other criminal acts.
👉 The Chopra flogging case, where medieval brutality played out in public.
👉 The Murshidabad and Bhangar violence.
And many more...
This was TMC's political terror protected by power and normalised by police.
Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's government must document every case, protect every witness, reopen every buried file, expose every political-criminal network and prosecute every cadre-protected accused.
Bengal cannot heal through silence or egg therapy.
Bengal needs truth before reconciliation.
Justice for Bengal must begin now.

Abhijit Sarkar’s murder cannot be buried.
Abhijit Sarkar was not just killed. He was hunted. He was chased. He was murdered in front of his mother. And they even killed his dogs and puppies. And sexually assaulted his old mother.
Swapan Samaddar, the TMC councillor and one of the prime accused in the 2021 killing of Abhijit, has finally been arrested in West Bengal.
And yet, for years, his brother Biswajit fought relentlessly while an entire political ecosystem tried to bury the truth under power, fear and silence.
We petitioned the Supreme Court where we have names every accoused.
This arrest is not closure.
It is the beginning.
Bengal does not need selective memory.
There must be justice for:
Every murder.
Every rape allegation.
Every displaced family.
Every burnt home.
Every silenced witness.
Every cadre-protected accused.
Abhijit Sarkar’s last words in this video must haunt Bengal’s conscience.
Because his case was not an exception.
It is a window into what political terror looked like under the Trinamool Congress when the state government of Mamata Banerjee looked away.
