BJP takes out rally in Kolkata to protest attack on Supriyo
    Kolkata, Sep 20 (PTI) The BJP on Friday took out a
rally in the city to protest against the assault on Union
Minister Babul Supriyo at Jadavpur University.
    Senior BJP leaders Sayantan Basu and Raju Banerjee
were seen leading the protest march from state BJP
headquarters in central Kolkata.
    Carrying posters and placards condemning the attack,
the saffron party activists demanded that action be
immediately taken against the assaulters.
    "Leftist mercenaries of JU should be beaten up black
and blue. This attack that took place yesterday was a joint
effort by CPI(M) and TMC," Basu said.
    Union minister Babul Supriyo was on Thursday shown
black flags and heckled by a section of students at Jadavpur
University, prompting West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar to
rush to the institute with a huge police contingent.
    Dhankar, who is the chancellor of the university, also
faced demonstrations by the agitators - mostly members of
Left-leaning organisations and some activists of the Trinamool
Congress Chhatra Parishad university sources said.
    The governor and Supriyo, however, managed to leave
the campus with police escort. PTI PNT
