Abdul Mannan, veteran Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly, said, “We condemn the way the police tortured the students.The Trinamool, on its way out, displayed its ghastly, totalitarian face today. It refuses to take action against the BJP, but cracks down on Left and the Congress’ struggle to uphold the causes of the common people. We appeal to the people of the State to support the bandh.”
