Despite refuting the accusations, the governing TMC claimed that central agency officials were inciting the local community.
The controversy stirred up following a house search performed by the ED officers at the residence of TMC leader Sheikh Sajahan. Regrettably, resistance from his backers during the operation led to substantial damage to both the officers and their transport facilities.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) Leader Kunal Ghosh Alledges Foul
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh said on Friday that the attack on the team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at Sandeshkhali in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal was an "effect of provocation.". Kunal Ghosh further alleged that the Central Agency is working against the leader of his party at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
What happened in Sandeskhali was an effect of provocation. In West Bengal, central agencies and forces on the instructions of the BJP are going to the residence of one or the other TMC leader or workers to harass, spread negative statements and provoke people. We are receiving such allegations and that's what happened in Sandeshkhali yesterday," Ghosh said. He further said that the residence of BJP West Bengal chief Suvendu Adhikari, once branded as a 'thief" by his own party was not raided.
"BJP had called Suvendu Adhikari a thief but there was no raid in his residence, they only conduct raids at TMC leaders' residence..." the TMC leader added.
On Thursday night, an Enforcement Directorate (ED) team was attacked and its vehicles damaged in Sandeshkhali village of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal, when it tried to raid the residence of block-level leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in connection with an alleged ration scam case, an official of the agency said.
