The TMC has demanded an apology from Sukanta Majumdar for what they perceived to be a sexist remark she made about Mamata Banerjee.Sukanta Majumdar, the president of the West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party, and Mahua Moitra, the head of the Trinamool Congress, got into a verbal spat over something the former supposedly said about Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister.
Mahua Moitra, the leader of the TMC, attacked the BJP on Tuesday, calling it “anti-women” and drawing attention to the discrepancy between their rhetoric about “Nari Shakti” (women empowerment) and the alleged remarks made by the BJP state president. The TMC demanded an apology for what it considered to be a misogynistic statement.”The president of Bengal State, PM @narendramodi, has called on the people to slap our Hon’ble Chief Minister, while he is endlessly talking about Nari Shakti.” The TMC posted a video statement of Moitra. “Our leader, Smt. @MahuaMoitra, denounced @DrSukantaBJP’s outrageous remark against Smt.@MamataOfficial and called for a public apology from the @BJP4India camp for their CHAUVINISTIC and PATRIARCHAL attitude towards women.”
Hitting back at Moitra, Majumdar, in a late-night post on X, said, “A lady who shows a ‘Particular’ finger now and then in public, was found insulting journalists, using derogatory abuses etc., will now teach lessons of respect using a cropped portion of my speech… Grow Up.”
