Condemning the incidents of violence against the media, Trinamool Secretary General Partha Chatterjee today said that the Chief Minister is inquiring into those incidents.

“The work of media is to gather news. They have to do it,” he said. He said that people gave Trinamool the responsibility to run the State and as ruling party they do not endorse violence.

“The Opposition has no public support. Their actions in recent past are anti-democracy. Mamata Banerjee is working tirelessly for the all-round development of the State. People have faith in her,” he added.

“Those who have been rejected by the people are trying to become heroes in front of the camera. People will give a fitting reply,” Partha Chatterjee said.
