Women from the village took to the streets, expressing their dissatisfaction with the situation. Despite the arrest of Sheikh Shahjahan, the unrest persists, and now the focus turns towards Sheikh Sirajuddin, also known as Dr. Siraj, and his followers. Accusations of various crimes, including violence against women, land encroachment, and multiple instances of looting, have echoed through the women’s community in Sandeshkhali. The fire of rebellion has not only spread on the streets but also within the political circles, creating a significant challenge for the ruling party.

Nusrat Jahan, the elected female Member of Parliament, was absent from the local scene, leaving a void in leadership for a long time. The absence of her candidacy had sparked debates within the political arena, with critics questioning the Trinamul Congress’s ability to control damages in the region. The stage is now set for Hazi Nurul Islam, a name that emerged in response to the void left by Nusrat Jahan. As his name is revealed as candidate of Basirhat constituency, yesterday the flames of protest intensified in Sandeshkhali.

Local women, frustrated with alleged injustice, continue their demonstrations, burning tires and making their grievances visible. Accusations of land encroachment against Sheikh Sirajuddin have rekindled tension, with Bermajur becoming a focal point of discontent. The situation escalated further when a new wave of violence hit the streets, prompting concerns about the overall stability of the region. As the saga unfolds, Sandeshkhali remains a hotbed of political unrest, challenging the Trinamul Congress’s ability to restore order and control damages in this politically charged landscape.
