Amit Shah hired goons from outside West Bengal: TMC on violence

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and senior Trinamool Congress leaders have changed their Twitter profile pictures to Vidyasagar's image as a mark of protests against BJP workers who desecrated the bust of the 19th-century social reformer during clashes at Amit Shah's rally in Kolkata on Tuesday.

A college named after Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar, a key figure in the Bengal renaissance, was ransacked in the clashes that ensued between the BJP and TMC during BJP president Amit Shah's road show in the state capital.
