A day after two CJP leaders were remanded to judicial custody for two more days, former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday (October 20, 2026) accused the central authorities of perpetrating “state-sponsored terrorism” and “police-sponsored atrocities” and demanded their immediate release.
By that time the people would have won, and the murderers of democracy will be finished. I can understand the desperate motive to extend the custody of Ashutosh and Saurav. This is a dangerous virus being used on a daily basis to attack democracy. Stop torturing the boys and girls of Gen Z. From Kolkata to Delhi to Mumbai – throughout the country, atrocities have reached unprecedented levels. When our forefathers stood up to colonial rulers, they too had to face atrocities and yet they fought with conviction and valor. Let me say it clearly: this is state-sponsored terrorism. These are police-sponsored atrocities. These cannot sustain for long. When people with conviction keep standing up strongly for the cause, to Save India, to Save Democracy- only then will these arrogant and blindfolded politicians in government open their eyes. If you believe in democracy, release Ashutosh and Saurav immediately. Mr. Ranka and Mr. Drawing a parallel with India’s freedom struggle, Ms.
Das were, on Monday (October 19), remanded to judicial custody for two more days after they were produced before a newly appointed special executive magistrate at the Mandir Marg police station in Delhi, an official said.
Banerjee said. Claiming that “atrocities had reached unprecedented levels” across the country, the Mamata All India Trinamool Congress supremo said the situation was not limited to any particular city. Banerjee said those who fought against colonial rule had also faced atrocities but continued their struggle with conviction and courage. These cannot sustain for long,” she said.
Those in power today, will not be in power tomorrow.
