Ramaswami: THROUGH a joint statement issued from New Delhi on April 10, the All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) and the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW) have deplored and condemned the attack on Minati Ghosh, state secretary of the Ganatantrik Mahila Samity in West Bengal and former minister in the Left Front government, by TMC goons when she was attending to her work in the office in South Dinajpur. The office was attacked and she was dragged out to the street. She was physically assaulted and humiliated in the most shameful ways. She has had to be hospitalised with serious injuries. The statement said if a person of Minati Ghosh’s seniority and stature could be attacked in this shameful way, then no woman in West Bengal could be considered safe from the TMC goons. It is necessary for the National Commission of Women to look into the case and take urgent action, the two organisations have demanded.
