Kolkata: Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday launched a sharp attack on the Election Commission over its decision to freeze the Trinamool Congress' name and symbol, calling it a "black day" in the country's democratic history and vowing to fight the move politically, democratically and legally.
Hours after the poll panel allotted her faction the name 'Mamata All India Trinamool Congress' and the 'Football Player' symbol for the October 6 bypolls, Banerjee said she would not accept the interim arrangement as a settlement and asserted that she would fight to reclaim the party's original identity and the flowers-and-grass symbol.
