Kolkata: The Mamata Banerjee-led faction of the Trinamool Congress on Wednesday suggested to the Calcutta High Court that their July 21 Martyrs' Day rally be allowed to be held in front of Birla Planetarium in south Kolkata if it is not permitted in front of Victoria House at Esplanade.
Moving the prayer for permission for the July 21 Martyrs' day rally before the court of Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya, the faction's counsel Kalyan Banerjee stated that it is being held in front of Victoria House in central Kolkata since 1993 under Mamata Banerjee's leadership, with the exception of two or three years.
