TMC leaders Kunal Ghosh and Firhad Hakim staged a protest in Kolkata, raising concerns over alleged post-poll violence, harassment of party workers, rising prices and restrictions linked to religious practices. Kunal Ghosh claimed that several TMC workers were forced out of their homes, while shops and properties were allegedly looted and vandalised. He also accused authorities of reopening old cases to target party supporters. Firhad Hakim said there was widespread distress and criticised what he described as arbitrary restrictions affecting people’s right to practice their religion freely. The protest comes amid escalating political tensions in West Bengal following the elections.
