Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee has thanked Rahul Gandhi for his support after being attacked in West Bengal's Sonarpur.
Banerjee suffered minor injuries when stones and eggs were allegedly hurled at him during a visit to meet families affected by post-poll violence.
Calling the incident 'political violence and state-sponsored terrorism', Banerjee expressed gratitude to Rahul Gandhi for standing by him.
Recalling his role in the Centre's diplomatic outreach after Operation Sindoor last year, he said, 'I defended my country and stood united against terrorism. Today, I stand as a victim of political violence and state-sponsored terrorism unleashed by those who claim to be the guardians of nationalism.'
Rahul Gandhi condemned the attack, calling it a 'disgusting manifestation' of the BJP's 'politics of vendetta', while Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP of the alleged attack and said several Opposition leaders had reached out to her.
