A video of the incident has surfaced online, showing the commotion that followed. According to reports, security personnel intervened immediately after the object was thrown, preventing any further escalation.

Videos circulating on social media showed the moments after the incident, with security staff moving swiftly to escort Ghosh away from the area.

Recent Attack Recalled

The episode has revived memories of a confrontation involving TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee earlier this month.

During a visit to Sonarpur Dakshin to meet party workers affected by post-election violence, Abhishek Banerjee was confronted by BJP supporters. Protesters reportedly surrounded him, shouted slogans and hurled objects, including stones, shoes and eggs.

The situation escalated to the point where his shirt was reportedly torn before he was escorted away under security protection.

Rebels Join NCP

The latest incident comes against the backdrop of a significant political setback for the TMC.

A group of 20 rebel MPs recently announced their merger with the Nationalist Citizens Party (NCP). The legislators also submitted a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking permission to sit separately in Parliament.

Rebel MP Kakoli Ghosh said the group comprised 20 members, more than the two-thirds threshold required under parliamentary rules. Another rebel leader, Sudip Bandyopadhyay, stated that the faction had formally merged with the NCP, which he described as a recognised regional party.

He added that the question of which faction represents the “real” Trinamool Congress would ultimately be decided by the courts. The rebel leaders had earlier met Union Minister Bhupender Yadav in Delhi.
