‘Couldn’t visit Sandeshkhali as section 174 imposed’: TMC MP Nusrat Jahan comes with a factually incorrect excuse while attending a film event in Kolkata

The TMC MP seems to have posted around 7-8 posts on Instagram after 8th February, the day on which hundreds of women from Sandeshkhali took to the streets demanding the arrest of TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan

Trinamool Congress MP from Basirhat, Nusrat Jahan raised eyebrows yet again as she was seen attending a film event in Kolkata while conveniently maintaining silence on Sandeshkhali.

Moreover, when questioned at the event about why she had not visited Sandeshkhali yet, the Bengali actress said that it was because the “174 Act was imposed” that she could not visit. The TMC MP was decked up in a stark red saree and dangler earrings at the “Bengal National Pride” event organised for the felicitation of national award winners.

The TMC MP’s statement is drawing flak on social media for her sheer ignorance on the issue. And this is not the first time.

About five days ago, the TMC MP was posing for the cameras at the “Calcutta Times Food Guide Party”. A week ago, she was posing for a photo shoot for a brand.

Moreover, while she was silent on Sandeshkhali land grabbing and sexual assault cases, the TMC MP continued to post reels on Instagram, celebrating Valentine’s week and promoting her new release ‘Sentimental’ on social media platforms.

Jahan who is also a film actress, could be seen posting a couple of Instagram reels celebrating 4 successful weeks of her new movie. Meanwhile, several social media users criticized the ‘leader’ for maintaining silence over violence in Sandeshkhali.

The TMC MP seems to have posted around 7-8 posts on Instagram after 8th February, the day on which hundreds of women from Sandeshkhali took to the streets demanding the arrest of TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan and his two aides Shiba Prasad Hazra and Uttam Sardar.

Protests rocked a small village of West Bengal’s North 24 Paraganas, Sandeshkhali which comes under the Basirhat constituency, after locals took to the streets against the terror of local TMC leader Sheikh Shajahan, a close associate of Mamata Banerjee.

Allegations of land grabbing and sexual assault of women in broad daylight shook the Mamata-led TMC government. Surprisingly, TMC MP from Basirhat Nusrat Jahan has not yet visited the victims.
