‘Direct attack on democracy’: Sanjay Raut slams EC for ban on Mamata Banerjee

@the_news_21

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday alleged that the Election Commission’s decision to bar West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from campaigning for 24 hours was taken at the behest of the BJP.

This was a “direct attack on democracy” and sovereignty of independent institutions of the country, Raut claimed in a tweet.

The Sena’s chief spokesperson expressed solidarity with Banerjee while terming as the “Bengal Tigress”.

Assembly elections are currently underway in West Bengal.

The Shiv Sena, which is not contesting the polls, has extended its support to Banerjee, who heads the Trinamool Congress (TMC).
