Congress Workers Clash in Kolkata Over TMC ex-councillor Rehana Khatun's Induction

Kolkata: Clashes erupted outside Bidhan Bhavan, the Congress state headquarters, on Friday over the proposed induction of former Trinamool Congress councillor Rehana Khatun. According to sources, Khatun arrived at the party office with her supporters to formally join Congress after severing ties with TMC. However, a section of Congress workers blocked the entrance, alleging that Khatun was involved in financial corruption and that Congress workers had been targeted in her ward during the previous govt’s tenure.

Protests continued through the afternoon.
