West Bengal artistes unites against BJP

The artistes’ forum on Sunday staged an agitation demanding a non political platform to safeguard the state and nation from the alleged atrocities of the BJP.

The poll analysts however believe that unity of the Artistes can bring a major blow for the BJP in the assembly elections scheduled in a couple of months.

Controversy rose between the artistes and the BJP over a recent chat show, where most of the artistes spoke in favour of eating beef.

Bengali actor Debolina Dutta was also trolled in social media by BJP youth wing leader Tarunjyoti Tiwari who had even given rape threats to the actor.

Urging for a non-political front to safeguard the status of the actors, Debolina claimed that had she done any wrong then capital punishment would have been the ultimate thing and not rape.

Demanding that everyone should make themselves safe from the atrocities of the BJP, Debolina mentioned that that on one side BJP claims to be with the Hindus on the other side they don’t respect women.

“Abusive comments were made about my mother on social media by the BJP youth wing leader. The BJP is destroying the democratic fabric of the country. They worship Durga but don’t respect women. It is very easy to curse a woman by physically and verbally insulting her,” said the Bengali actor.
