Freedom to Kill: BJP worker murdered during flag hoisting ceremony by TMC workers in West Bengal

The BJP and Trinamool activists were hoisting flags at Daulatchak around 9:30 am on Saturday. Suddenly they started arguing which is when the leaders and activists of the two parties allegedly got involved in a ‘scuffle’.

Locals also complained that the TMC workers started bombing in the area (using petrol bombs and other weapons). At that time while escaping, BJP workers saw Sudarshan Pramanik lying on the road with serious injuries.

He was rushed to a local health center where doctors declared him brought dead. Sudarshan Pramanik was a booth worker for BJP at booth number 246.

BJP’s Arambagh district president Biman Ghosh said, “when our workers had assembled for hoisting the flag, they were attached by the miscreants from Trinamool. The attackers have killed our booth worker Sudarshan Pramanik. Apart from him another worker has been admitted in critical condition.”

The official Twitter handle of BJP Bengal uploaded a picture of the deceased Sudarshan Pramanik and wrote, “Sudarshan Pramanik, booth worker from Arambagh was brutally murdered while flag hoisting on Independence Day. Suspects are from the ruling party who is on a killing spree even on Independence Day. We must take a pledge for a MamataMuktoBengal (Bengal free from Mamata Banerjee) today.”
