TMC leader Ajit Maity removed from post amid calls for his arrest by Sandeshkhali women

New protests have broken out in the Bermajur area of Sandeshkhali, West Bengal, with women demanding the immediate arrest of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Ajit Maity. 

The protesters, mostly women, accuse Maity of land grabbing and extortion. In response to the public outcry, TMC removed Maity from his post as TMC Anchal President. 

Maity has reportedly taken refuge in another person's home, despite requests to leave. He was previously attacked by protesters at his own home.

A Trinamool Congress delegation, including state ministers Partha Bhowmick and Sujit Bose, visited the area and asked for one-and-a-half months to address the issues raised by the local community. 

The delegation engaged with villagers who have been protesting against the alleged atrocities by local leaders affiliated with the ruling party. The visit aims to understand the grievances of the community and address the concerns raised by the protestors. 

The delegation assured that all land grab incidents will be investigated and that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is committed to addressing the concerns of the residents. 

The Trinamool Congress delegation interacted with the local community, seeking a timeframe of one-and-a-half months to thoroughly examine and address the concerns and grievances raised by the residents.

"Give us one-and-half month. We have promised that all the land grab incidents, which had been reported, will be verified. We cannot solve all the problems in one go. To address the issues, there are official procedures that need time to be completed," Bhowmik, the state irrigation minister, said.

The Trinamool Congress delegation assured the local community that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is dedicated to alleviating the concerns of every resident in the area. Regarding the allegations against Ajit Maity, the delegation mentioned that he has been removed from party posts, and the police have initiated investigations.

For over a month, the Sandeshkhali area has seen heightened tension due to protests against TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan and his supporters over allegations of land grabs and sexual abuse of locals.

Hundreds of women are protesting against TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan, who is currently absconding, and his supporters. The protests are in response to allegations of land grabs and sexual abuse of locals.
