Abhishek Banerjee Appears Before Bidhannagar Court, Submits Voice Sample In Poll Speech Case

Kolkata: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday had appeared before a court in Bidhannagar to submit his voice sample.

The court had instructed Banerjee to give his voice sample for making inflammatory remarks during the election campaign.

Last week Calcutta High Court had granted interim protection to Banerjee based on his assurance of cooperation in the probe.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president and Rajya Sabha MP Samik Bhattacharya refused to comment on Banerjee’s appearance before the Bidhannagar court, saying his party was more focused on governance and the state’s development than on individual court cases. 

On the other side, talking to the party workers through Facebook live, former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had apologized on behalf of the ‘traitors’ who defected to the rebel camp.

“Today Abhishek is very bad for you (rebel TMC leaders). You don’t remember that his wife went to CBI with their children. He could have done the setting and got relief. He is fighting like a tiger and will continue to do so,” said Mamata.

Lending complete support to Abhishek, Mamata further mentioned that he had become ‘principal target of political attacks’.
