BJP's Suvendu Adhikari, Stopped From Visiting Sandeshkhali, Gets Court Nod | Read

West Bengal is set to witness yet another political showdown on the Sandeshkhali issue after BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari and CPM's Brinda Karat were stopped from visiting the island this morning. The Sandeshkhali island in North 24 Parganas district has made headlines following BJP's allegations of sexual violence by Trinamool leaders and multiple accounts of women alleging harassment and extortion. Mr Adhikari, who is Leader of Opposition in Bengal Assembly, was stopped at Dhamakhali before he and his supporters could board a ferry to take them to the island. This is his third attempt to visit Sandeshkhali after the allegations against Trinamool leaders raised a political storm.
