Bengali actor Sreelekha Mitra has reacted to the attack on Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, which took place on Saturday.
Taking to her Facebook account, the actor said he needs to think what else to wear other than a helmet to protect him.
Her remarks come after Abhishek Banerjee was allegedly attacked in Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas, while visiting families affected by post-poll violence.
Banerjee was reportedly assaulted with bricks, stones, and eggs, sustaining injuries to his eye.
The TMC MP described the attack as ‘BJP-sponsored’ and claimed an attempt on his life, adding that the police failed to provide adequate protection.
Meanwhile, West Bengal minister Agnimitra Paul on Sunday described the attack as a reflection of "genuine public anger" against the previous TMC government.
