TMC MP Sudip Bandopadhyay said that the results of the election for the post of the Indian President were planned on the 21st of July to divert attention from Martyrs' Day rally in Kolkata.
The radical Islamic organisation Popular Front of India (PFI) extended support to TMC MP Mahua Moitra, who courted controversy with her contentious remark on the Hindu Goddess Maa Kali
Distancing itself from Mahua's controversial comments, the party said that the comments were made by Mahua Moitra in her personal capacity and were not endorsed by TMC.
