TMC MP Nusrat Jahan attends Constitution Day celebrations, skips protest

Unlike the other leaders from her party, TMC MP Nusrat Jahan on Tuesday attended the Constitution Day celebrations held in Parliament and gave a miss to the protest organised by various opposition parties at the Ambedkar Statue in the complex.

Many opposition parties including Congress, TMC, NCP, DMK, RJD, SP, left parties and ruling BJP's erstwhile ally Shiv Sena organised a protest against the swearing-in of BJP's Devendra Fadnavis as chief minister in Maharashtra.

All the parties sat on a dharna near BR Ambedkar's statue in the Parliament complex by boycotting the Constitution Day celebrations being held at the same time in the Central Hall.

While her party colleagues were participating in the protest, Nusrat attended the event.

Sources in the TMC said she attended the event by mistake.
