"If a Union minister's convoy is attacked, then you can understand the situation of the people of the area. But let me assure everyone that this reign of terror will end soon. We warn the TMC goons that there is still time to make amends. Otherwise, we will have to take such measures that they will not get time to rectify themselves," Majumdar said.
"The BJP has a few frontal organisations, such as the Mahila Morcha and Yuva Morcha. Similarly, the TMC also has a frontal outfit -- the police department. Police officers have forgotten all legal and constitutional norms, and are just following the orders of their political masters," he alleged.

TMC supporters allegedly attacked Pramanik's convoy in the Dinhata area of the district on Saturday afternoon.
