KOLKATA: TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee , who is a nephew of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee , has stirred a new controversy by saying that those who dared to challenge the TMC administration will have their eyes gouged out and their hands chopped off."Those who dare to show their eyes, we will tear it out and throw it on the streets. If someone shows us their hands we will cut them off. But you have to remember that in democracy, it is the common man who will say the last word," Abhishek Banerjee said on Monday while addressing a meeting in Basirhat area of North 24 Parganas.Banerjee also said that only the TMC has been standing up to PM Narendra Modi."Most political parties have fallen on the feet of Narendra Modi but TMC didn't," Abhishek Banerjee said.The comments of Abhishek, who heads the youth wing of Trinamool Congress, has attracted severe criticism from the other political parties."I think Abhishek Banerjee has been making such highly provoking speeches earlier also. There should be a case registered against him. He should not indulge in any such speeches being a Member of Parliament. Threatening the people to vote for Mamata shows that she does not have believe on the work she has done and that the BJP has emerged has a competition to TMC," said BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao."The comments are the reflection of the DNA of Trinamool Congress. This is what is expected of TMC and its leaders," BJP national secretary Siddharth Nath Singh said.CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty said the proactive statements of Abhishek shows the mindset of Trinamool."I am not surprised by the statement. This is their ideology and mindset. Several TMC leaders had earlier spelt it out. Now Abhishek has said it," Chakraborty said.(With inputs from agencies)
