Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), was attacked during a visit to families affected by post-poll violence in Sonarpur South, West Bengal. Reports indicate that stones and eggs were thrown at his convoy, and he claims the incident was a pre-planned assault (Times of India).
