The BJP is observing a 12-hour Bengal Bandh today in protest of police action against the Chhatra Samaj on Tuesday. Amid this, BJP leader Roopa Ganguly was detained by police at Gariahat More in Kolkata. She was urging auto drivers and common people to support the call of Bengal Bandh. Ganguly was seen walking near the auto stand with folded hands requesting people to support the cause.
On the 12-hour 'Bengal Bandh' called by the BJP, the party's leader Roopa Ganguly says, "People from TMC are saying that people are not following the bandh while buses are going empty. It means that people are following the bandh call. Did you see me forcing anyone to follow the bandh? Police are behaving so badly these days, don't they feel ashamed?"
On the other hand, police also detained BJP leader Locket Chatterjee who joined the protest after BJP's call for a 12-hour 'Bharat Bandh' at Kolkata's Bata Chowk.
