Close on the heels of a row over Communist Party of India-Marxist leader's derogatory remarks against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, a Trinamool Congress MP on Friday courted controversy saying the Park Street incident in February was not at all a case of rape.
"...That was a different case altogether. That was not at all a rape case. It was a misunderstanding between two parties involved in professional dealings. Between the lady and her client," TMC MP Kakoli Ghose Dastidar told a TV channel.
Ghose Dastidar made the comment while reacting to the derogatory remarks made by Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Anisur Rehman at Itahar in North Dinajpur district on Wednesday. Rehman had apologised on Thursday after triggering a political storm.
The MP claimed that whatever she said is as per the police report.
Asked about Ghose Dastidar's remark, senior TMC leader and Panchayat minister Subrata Mukherjee told the media at the state secretariat, "You ask her."
Describing the comment as appalling, CPI-M
