Amid the deadlock between protesting doctors and the West Bengal government, senior Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh has claimed that "opposition forces" are plotting an attack on the agitators to defame the Mamata Banerjee government and the ruling party in the state.
Mr Ghosh cited an audio clip of a conversation as proof of the conspiracy.
"The conversation is between a member of the youth wing of the Left and one from an ultra-Left organisation. There is a deep conspiracy against the government. They were talking about a plot. They will attack the 'dharna' (sit-in) of doctors and then will blame the ruling party and the state government that after yesterday's deadlock, the ruling party is attacking the doctors... this is the main plot," Mr Ghosh said.
