TMC Stages Protest Against Alleged Discrimination of Bengali-Speaking People

The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) organized a protest on Monday against the recent disconnection of electricity to an informal settlement in Delhi, inhabited mainly by Bengali-speaking people. Party leaders and locals denounce the move as discriminatory, asserting their rights and identity amidst suspicions of being labeled as illegal immigrants.

All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders launched a protest on Monday at the Jai Hind camp following the recent electricity disconnection affecting primarily Bengali-speaking residents.

Executed on July 8 under a court directive, the disconnection prompted TMC Rajya Sabha MPs Sagarika Ghose, Sukhendu Sekhar Roy, and Saket Gokhale to join the locals in a 24-hour protest commencing at 3 pm.

Residents and MPs allege that this move targets Bengali-speaking people unfairly, despite having proper documentation, accusing authorities of branding them as illegal immigrants.
