Kolkata: Trinamool Congress has decided not to send its spokespersons to TV channel debates, accusing three channels of \u201canti-Bengal\u201d propaganda.<\/p>\n
\u201cAITC has, for now decided not to send its spokespersons to media channels like ABP Ananda, Republic, and TV9 due to their persistent ANTI-BENGAL agenda-driven PROPAGANDA. We understand their compulsion to appease the ZAMINDARS of Delhi, given the investigations and ongoing enforcement cases their promoters and companies are facing.<\/p>\n
We also clarify and request the people of West Bengal not to be misled by individuals portrayed as party supporters or sympathizers on these platforms during discussions or debates, as they are not authorized by the party and do not represent our official stance,\u201d the party added in a statement posted on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people of Bengal have consistently rejected this unholy BANGLA BIRODHI NEXUS and have always chosen TRUTH over PROPAGANDA,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
This comes days after a spat between a spat between senior Trinamool leader and MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar and BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul during a TV debate on ABP Ananda. Ms Dastidar, the Trinamool\u2019s deputy leader in Lok Sabha, had called Ms Paul, a prominent fashion designer, a \u201csaree maker\u201d. Ms Paul responded that she is immensely proud of her profession. The BJP legislator had also accused the Mamata Banerjee government shelters criminals and ignores the plight of women.<\/p>\n
Another remark of Ms Dastidar in the same show sparked a row. She had said medical students were \u201cmade to sit on laps\u201d for pass marks during the CPM era in Bengal. This remark had drawn strong criticism from women doctors, forcing the Trinamool MP to apologise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am sorry for any statement made in ABP anondo talk show and apologize if my recent words have hurt anyone\u2019s sentiments. I retract my statement. My intention has been and will always be to champion cause of well-being and rights of women,\u201d she said in a post on X.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
