Bengal BJP worker's mother, beaten by 'TMC workers' in February, dies; wounds will haunt Mamata, warns Amit Shah

The 82-year-old mother of a BJP leader in West Bengal, beaten up in February allegedly by Trinamool Congress workers, passed away on Monday, according to several media reports.

Her death, coming just days the conclusion of the first phase of Assembly polls in Bengal, has only added to the war of words between the BJP and TMC.

While BJP said Shova Majumdar succumbed to the injuries she sustained in the attack and that the TMC's slogan of 'Ma, Mati, Manush' had been "bloodied", the ruling party hit back, saying the saffron party was "peddling a narrative", NDTV reported.

The TMC, denying the involvement of its activists in the attack, said Majumdar might have died due to age-related ailments, as per PTI.

BJP workers on Monday staged a protest in the North 24 Parganas district's Nimta area, the PTI report added.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who has addressed several rallies ahead of the polls in the politically crucial state, on Monday condoled Majumdar's death.

He tweeted:

BJP president JP Nadda also tweeted his condolences over Majumdar's death.

Union minister Debasree Chaudhuri, addressing a press conference in Kolkata said, "She (Mamata) is doing processions, repeatedly attacking BJP, claiming that she was being attacked... Today, Ma has been bloodied, Mati has been bloodied, Manush has been bloodied. What will the state government do?"

She added that Majumdar had been receiving treatment in a hospital for 27 days.

On 28 February, the BJP had claimed that TMC supporters had beaten up its district member Gopal Majumdar and his mother, Shova. "A video of Majumdar, narrating her painful experience with a badly swollen face, was shared by the BJP on social media last month," the NDTV report added.

Calling her death a tragedy, TMC MPs Derek O'Brien and Sougata Roy denied the party's involvement in the incident.

Roy was quoted by PTI as saying, "The incident has no relation with politics and the BJP is unnecessarily trying to cash on a death. Any death is unfortunate and tragic. TMC men were not involved in any attack. We have information that she might have died due to old age-related ailments."

China challenge hangs like a dark cloud but India will increasingly strive to be a rule shaper, not rule taker

On Tuesday, while dedicating to the nation 24 new bridges and three new roads built by the Border Roads Organization in areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh said “in today’s uncertain environment, the possibility of any kind of conflict cannot be ruled out.”  His reference to China wasn’t to be missed. These infrastructural developments are mostly girding India’s border regions with Beijing. One of these roads, the Chisumle-Demchok Road in eastern Ladakh, the world’s highest motorable road, is built at an altitude of more than 19,000 feet. The Chinese have built so-called “civilian settlements” in the disputed region over which India also claims sovereign control, and Demchok has seen frequent clashes between troops in the past. In this regard, Singh’s pointed remarks are worth noting: “Infrastructure development in border areas also strengthens our strategic capabilities. As we mo...
