TMC, rebel faction seek police permission for July 21 Shahid Dibas event
THe Trinamool u.s. Congress (TMC) and the renegade sect on sabbatum wrote to the calcutta police seeking permission to hold Shahid Dibas rally on July 21.“The TMC has written to the Kolkata police seeking permission to observe Shahid Dibas on July 21st in front of Victoria House, just like the party has been observing for decades,” said a senior TMC leader.The TMC has been organising a mammoth rally every year in Esplanade, the heart of the city, to pay homage to the 13 youth Congress workers killed in police firing in the city on July 21, 1993.The incident was a major turning point in TMC chief Mamata Banerjee’s political career, who was then a youth Congress leader.Every year Banerjee addresses the rally on July 21, which is attended by a large number of TMC supporters who come from across the state.“The party will observe 21 July regardless of administrative restrictions and will hold its programme even if permission for a conventional stage is denied. If necessary, the programme would be conducted from a Gypsy using a microphone, but the event would not be cancelled. The administration could attempt to restrict transportation, including trains, buses, and other routes, to prevent party supporters from attending the programme. But the 21st July will definitely take place under any circumstances,” Mahua Moitra, TMC MP, said.Meanwhile the rebel faction led by expelled TMC leader Ritabrata Banerjee also held a meeting on Saturday with ward councillors of the recently dissolved TMC-led board of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. The meeting was held with the TMC symbol but without any photo of Banerjee.“The Martyr’s Day on July 21 is an emotion for each and every TMC worker and leader. Earlier film stars and celebrities took the centre stage on Martyr’s Day while the families of the victims were seated in the back row. This year, when we observe the day on July 21, the families will get the due respect. We are the TMC and we are taking all preparations for the day. Our first choice would be to hold the rally in front of the Victoria House,” Akhruzzaman, TMC MLA from Raghunathganj who joined the rebel faction, said.
