Symbol to stage, rival TMC groups battle over flagship Shaheed Diwas event
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) faces an internal struggle as rival factions led by Mamata Banerjee and Ritabrata Banerjee both seek permission to hold rallies for the Martyrs’ Day event at the traditional venue outside Victoria House in Kolkata. This conflict follows a recent leadership change where Banerjee was removed as chairperson, intensifying tensions over party symbols and strategies. The Ritabrata faction is mobilizing support against the state government's proposed Anti-Hooliganism Bill, indicating a broader political confrontation ahead.
