Amid ongoing outrage over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee postgraduate medical student in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has announced that it will not send its spokespersons to some TV channel debates, due to their  “persistent anti-Bengal agenda-driven propaganda.”

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, the TMC stated, “AITC has, for now, decided not to send its spokespersons to media channels like ABP Ananda, Republic, and TV9 due to their persistent anti-Bengal agenda-driven propaganda.”

The party led by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also said that these channels need to appease the “Zamindars of Delhi”  due to ongoing investigations and enforcement cases faced by their promoters and companies.

“We also clarify and request the people of West Bengal not to be misled by individuals portrayed as party supporters or sympathizers on these platforms during discussions or debates, as they are not authorized by the party and do not represent our official stance," the TMC added in its statement.

"The people of Bengal have consistently rejected this unholy BANGLA BIRODHI NEXUS and have always chosen TRUTH over PROPAGANDA," the statement further read.
