Mamata Banerjee's convoy attacked amid protests and chants
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's convoy was targeted with stones and mud during a visit to Halisahar. Protesters blocked her car and chanted slogans, including 'chor, chor' (thief, thief). During a subsequent rally in Kolkata, similar chants were directed at her. TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee alleged the attack was 'state-sponsored' and claimed West Bengal Minister Suvendu Adhikari was involved. Some reports also mentioned slogans against Mamata Banerjee related to remarks made about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
