TMC Office Stormed at 4:30 AM: Abhishek Banerjee Accuses BJP Workers, Questions Police Inaction

Senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and Member of Parliament Abhishek Banerjee has launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging that BJP workers stormed and vandalized a TMC office in the early hours of Thursday, September 3, 2026. terming the incident a "disgraceful assault on the rule of law," Banerjee criticized local law enforcement for failing to intervene and appealed to constitutional institutions to step in.

Early-Morning Incident and Accusations

According to statements made by Banerjee, the incident occurred around 4:30 AM when alleged BJP workers forcibly entered the TMC facility. Describing the event as an act of political thuggery, the TMC National General Secretary condemned the actions as a direct threat to democratic norms in West Bengal. He also criticized the Kolkata Police for what he characterized as systemic inaction during the incident.

Appeal to Authorities and Judicial Oversight

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Banerjee questioned the neutrality of law enforcement and appealed directly to key constitutional authorities, including the West Bengal Governor, the Union Home Minister, and the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), urging them to act rather than turn a blind eye. Furthermore, he called upon the judiciary, specifically the Calcutta High Court, to intervene and enforce legal safeguards across the state.

Complete Statement by Abhishek Banerjee

In his official X post, Abhishek Banerjee expressed his outrage over the morning’s events, writing:

"This is what the BJP has done to my party office in the early hours of this morning. Will the Governor of WB act? Will the Union Home Minister act? Will the PMO act? Or will they continue to look the other way? It is high time the judiciary, particularly the Calcutta High Court, takes serious note of what is happening and acts to uphold the rule of law in West Bengal. And one simple question for Suvendu Adhikari: why are you so scared of the Trinamool Congress and of me that you have to resort to this kind of intimidation? If this is how the Opposition is to be treated in West Bengal, through violence, vandalism and intimidation, then the Chief Minister have no moral authority to remain in office. He must resign. This is not democracy. This is political thuggery. Shame on those responsible. And shame on those who choose to remain silent. Every act like this will be remembered. Every attack, every act of intimidation, every abuse of power. Nothing will be forgotten."
