KOLKATA: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) will practice "black day" all through West Bengal on August 4 and 5 to protest towards the detention and "manhandling" of its leaders on the Silchar airport in Assam the day gone by, a senior birthday celebration leader stated on Friday.
TMC secretary normal and West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee stated the birthday celebration will practice "black day" in each block and district of the state on Saturday and Sunday.
"We condemn the way the public representatives were manhandled and detained by the Assam police at the Silchar airport. They being MPs had every right to visit a place, but all rules were violated and our party delegation was stopped. This is shameful," he instructed newshounds here.
An eight-member TMC delegation, which had six MPs, had been stopped on the Silchar airport when they attempted to enter Assam's Cachar district to assess the bottom realities after the overall draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was printed within the north-eastern state on Monday.
