Amid the row, senior TMC leader Kunal Ghosh alleged that pressure was being exerted on hospitals over Abhishek Banerjee's treatment.

A fresh controversy erupted over the treatment of Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee after hospital sources said that former CM and TMC Supremo Mamata Banerjee was informed there was no medical requirement for his admission, even as the TMC alleged that pressure was being exerted on hospitals regarding his treatment following the attack on him in Sonarpur.

Hospital sources told News18 that Mamata Banerjee was briefed about Abhishek Banerjee’s condition after his examination and was informed that hospitalisation was not necessary. The hospital later issued a written statement reiterating that admission was not required.

Sources, however, claimed that Mamata Banerjee insisted on his admission. They further alleged that while leaving the hospital premises, she accused the hospital of being aligned with the BJP and made remarks that were perceived as intimidating by hospital officials.

Amid the row, senior TMC leader Kunal Ghosh alleged that pressure was being exerted on hospitals over Abhishek Banerjee’s treatment.

Addressing reporters in Kolkata, Ghosh condemned the attack on the Trinamool Congress MP and blamed the BJP for the incident.

“I strongly condemn the brutal attack on Abhishek Banerjee. He was travelling to meet the family of a deceased party worker and stand beside them during a difficult time. Instead of being allowed to carry out that humanitarian and political responsibility, he was targeted in what appears to have been a pre-planned and organised attack. The Bharatiya Janata Party is responsible for this incident."
