WEST BENGAL, SEPT 2 : The Trinamool Congress has decided to boycott three news channels, alleging an “anti-Bengal, agenda-driven propaganda” amid the outrage over the rape and murder of a woman doctor at a state-run medical college in Kolkata.

Mamata Banerjee’s party, in a statement, said that they will not be sending spokespersons to these channels for discussions.

The party alleged that the channels are compelled to “appease the Zamindars of Delhi, given the investigations and ongoing enforcement cases their promoters and companies are facing”.

It also urged people “not to be misled by individuals portrayed as party supporters or sympathisers” on channels during the debates. The statement said these people are not authorised by the party and do not represent its official stance.

“The people of Bengal have consistently rejected this unholy Bangla Birodhi Nexus and have always chosen truth over propaganda,” the statement mentioned.

A second-year PG medical student was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9. The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress has come under fire for its handling of the murder and dealing with the subsequent protests by doctors.

The BJP, which has been protesting against the state government, demanded the Chief Minister’s resignation, asserting that she had failed to ensure the safety and security of women, making West Bengal the most unsafe state in the country.

Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress rejected the BJP’s charges, accusing them of exploiting public discontent over the rape and murder and attempting to destabilise the democratically elected Mamata Banerjee government .
