Kolkata, Oct 6 (NationPress) In light of recent attacks on BJP Lok Sabha member Khagen Murmu and party legislator Shankar Ghosh, allegedly by Trinamool Congress activists in Jalpaiguri district, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made an implicit appeal to her party's supporters to exercise restraint and foster an atmosphere of harmony during this time of significant natural disaster in North Bengal.

The incidents occurred when Murmu and Ghosh were en route to Nagrakata to assist with relief efforts for communities affected by severe rains, floods, and landslides in the Terai and Dooars regions of North Bengal.

Murmu sustained serious injuries from a stone reportedly thrown by Trinamool Congress activists, while Ghosh experienced minor injuries.

Hours later, CM Banerjee called for calm through social media, urging the public to remain composed and not be swayed by rumors. She did not directly reference the attacks on the BJP leaders nor specify the audience for her message.

“Please stay calm, do not pay heed to rumors, and cooperate with those around you. At this time, no unpleasant incidents are desirable; by standing by each other, we will collectively face this crisis,” stated the Chief Minister.

Emphasizing the need for unity and patience amidst the disaster, she further urged, “I request everyone, do not lose courage, and maintain restraint and caution. The government and administration are fully standing by the people, and together we will overcome this disaster.”

Upon arriving in North Bengal, the Chief Minister assured that the state government would not only repair roads damaged by the floods and landslides but would also facilitate the reconstruction of homes affected by the disaster.
