Kolkata: TMC MP Mahua Moitra on Friday launched a sharp attack on the BJP government in West Bengal over the proposed Uniform Civil Code and a controversial law-and-order bill, accusing the ruling dispensation of trying to "uproot" the opposition through intimidation and divisive and draconian policies.
Addressing reporters after a meeting at TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee's Kalighat residence, Moitra alleged that the BJP government had launched an "operation" aimed at weakening the TMC at the grassroots level by preventing party workers from holding meetings and rallies.
