BJP Leader Calls for Mamata’s Arrest, TMC Terror Label After CBI Sandeshkhali Searches

West Bengal opposition leader and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari slammed the Trinamool Congress (TMC)-led West Bengal government on Friday after several arms and ammunition, including foreign-made revolvers, were discovered at the home of suspended party leader Sheikh Shahjahan in Sandeshkhali, demanding that the ruling party be declared a ‘terrorist outfit’. The Bengal Assembly leader of the opposition went on to say that such weapons and explosives are being utilized in anti-national actions and that the party supremo has lost the moral authority to remain as the state’s chief minister after supporting terrorists such as Sheikh.

“All the weapons discovered in Sandeshkhali are foreign. Explosives like RDX are employed in horrendous anti-national acts. International terrorists employ all of these weapons. I urge that the Trinamool Congress be declared a terrorist group. This is a utopian state. People who saw the teaser for the tragedy in Khadikul, Egra, saw the movie today when RDX and lethal weapons were recovered in Sandeshkhali. Mamata Banerjee accepts full responsibility for this occurrence. “I demand that Mamata Banerjee be arrested and that the Trinamool Congress be declared a terrorist organization,” Adhikari said.

What the CBI found

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted searches on Friday at two properties owned by Sheikh Shahjahan, the primary accused in the Sandeshkhali incident, in connection with a January attack on an Enforcement Directorate (ED) team by a crowd reportedly led by the now-suspended leader. “The CBI seized three foreign-made revolvers, one foreign-made pistol, one Indian revolver, one Colt official-issue police revolver, one country-made pistol, 120 nine-mm bullets, and 50 cartridges.45 caliber, 50 cartridges of.380 caliber, and eight cartridges of.32 caliber,” according to a press release issued by the agency

TMC’s reaction

However, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh questioned the CBI finding. Before the CBI proclaimed possession, he alleged that the opposition was conspiring to plant ammunition on the grounds. “We haven’t seen any guns yet. The CBI has not provided any official briefings. Our competitors or political parties have likely hidden weapons,” he stated, hours before the formal CBI announcement. “There are attempts from Delhi to sway votes and keep the Sandeshkhali pot boiling. Dramas are currently being staged.” The police should be alert,” he wrote in a post on X, mocking the ruling BJP without mentioning it.
