Sandeshkhali Violence: NCW Chief Demanded The Arrest Of TMC Leader Sheikh Shahjahan

National Commission for Women`s (NCW) Chairperson Rekha Sharma met CV Ananda Bose in Kolkata on Feb 19 amid the Sandeshkhali violence issue. She demanded the arrest of TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan. Addressing at a Press Conference held after the meeting with Governor, Rekha Sharma said, “Today I visited Sandeshkhali and several women came forward and complained about molestation...Those who sit far away and comment that it is a political agenda should once visit here... A home has been built by the Governor for the women of Sandeshkhali. Those who feel that they are not safe in their homes can come here and live... The demand of the women of Sandeshkhali is safety and we will ensure that. I want to request the state police to work without getting afraid and by staying away from the political agenda. In the state, the police are not able to work. They can`t do anything without a political agenda despite their willingness to work. Only two people have been arrested, we want the main culprit Shahjahan should be arrested.”
“She (Mamata Banerjee) should resign from her post and should go there (Sandeshkhali) as a woman, then she will be able to see the pain of the people,” she added.
