Kolkata: BJP leader Roopa Ganguly made a shocking comment while commenting on the ongoing unrest in the hill city of West Bengal as she dared her fellow politicians to send their daughters and wives to survive in Bengal for 15 days without being getting raped.
Ganguly was speaking at an event called 'Save Bengal' when she made this remark.
"I dare all the parties, the ones who keep flattering the West Bengal Government and the Congress, to send their daughters, sisters-in-law, wives to Bengal, without taking any hospitality from Mamata Banerjee. If they are able to survive there for 15 days without getting raped, then tell me,' Ganguly was quoted as saying by the ANI.
Commenting further on the West Bengal violence, Ganguly said democracy has died in the state.
"No government official does his work. If one does not have sources, he cannot get his work done," she said.
West Bengal seems to have become the centre of chaos and violence, with an agitation going on in Darjeeling over demand for a separate statehood and a recent violence in Basirhat, where communal clashes broke out over a 'controversial' social media post.
