"It is very unfortunate. I heard that the unions of the CPI-M and the BJP assembled at the jute mill with their demands and CEO H K Maheswari came out to hear them when he was beaten up mercilessly. On way to hospital he succumbed to his injuries," the chief minister said while pointing out that there was no employees union of the TMC there.
"Yesterday, the CPI(M) and BJP goons had also killed four of our workers at Raidighi in South 24-Paganas district," Banerjee said.
Condemning these incidents, Banerjee said, "Our state is known for peace and harmony. The state government is ready to combat these terror tactics at any cost."
"We will never allow such things to happen. Strong action will be taken and the culprits must be punished. Don't take our courtesy as our weakness. Law will take its own course and nobody will be spared," the chief minister warned.
