Son attacked, Dalu blames Trinamool
MALDA: Malda South MP Abu Hasem Khan Chowdhury's son, MLA Isha Khan Chowdhury, was attacked and bombs were hurled at his car on Saturday. Isha escaped unscathed, but his father blamed Trinamool Congress goons for the attack.
The incident took place at Baishnabnagar, when Isha was on his way to the condolence meeting organized for
Class X student of Biswajit Mandal, who was hacked to death last week. After crossing Mojampur bus stand, a bomb was hurled which exploded metres away from Isha's car. The MLA alleged that he had heard gunshots as well. The driver showed presence of mind and drove away at full speed.
Isha later contacted the local BDO and soon, a police team was sent for his protection. However, Isha alleged after his car crossed a bridge at Sahabajpur, a group of 10 to 12 armed goons emerged from a field and approached his car once again. But this time, his bodyguard and the policemen chased the criminals away.
Isha did not accuse any political party in his complaint, alleging the general law and order situation of the area was very poor.
"Police have been taking some action of late, but they have to be more alert. If the life of an MLA is at stake, it is understandable how common people live," said Isha. His father, however, directly blamed Trinamool Congress. "The CPM goons of this locality have joined Trinamool and they were the ones behind the attack. I'll take it up with the chief minister," he fumed.
Trinamool MLA and minister Sabitri Mitra, however, said, rubbished the allegation.
"No CPM worker joined our party in that area." she said.
Additional SP Shyam Singh said: "We responded promptly after getting a complaint from the MLA." His security was beefed up. We are looking for the goons now."
