At a time when most of the Indian and world media are focusing on farmers' protest, hundreds of women with broomsticks have been protesting against the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in a West Bengal village named Sandeshkhali. The Sandeshkhali case is indeed horrifying and interestingly neglected as well. For those who haven't followed the Sandeshkhali Case, below is everything you need to know-
What is the Sandeshkhali case?
On February 8, 2024, women in Sandeshkhali took to the streets with brooms and sticks, demanding the immediate arrest of TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his two aides Shiba Prasad Hazra and Uttam Sardar. Sandeshkhali women accused the TMC leaders of land-grabbing and sexual harassment. They alleged the TMC men called them to resorts, party offices, or school buildings under the garb of late-night meetings. The protesting women further claimed that the women were chosen and taken to the local party office, confined there, and released only after the TMC members were "satisfied."
