The Trinamool Congress (TMC) Saturday claimed that BJP workers had gathered at the Kolkata airport a day earlier with the intention to attack TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee upon his return to the city.
The Opposition party raised the pitch after a person was allegedly apprehended with arms at the Kolkata airport. The BJP denied the allegations, stating that its supporters only planned to protest by throwing eggs. The police had escorted Banerjee through an alternative exit in view of the security situation.
Banerjee himself posted on his X handle, “Last night at Kolkata Airport, shortly after I landed from Delhi, a shocking incident took place. Armed individuals were apprehended, leading to serious questions about security and the lengths to which some are willing to go.”
