**[Anchor]:** Welcome back too Archyde News. Today, we’re joined by political analyst dr. Rina Sen to discuss the shocking assassination of Trinamool Congress (TMC) councillor Dulal Sarkar in West bengal. Dr. Sen, thank you for being here.



**[Dr. Sen]:** Thank you for having me. This is a deeply troubling incident that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of West Bengal.



**[Anchor]:** could you provide our viewers with some context on this incident?



**[Dr. Sen]:**: Certainly. Dulal Sarkar, a TMC councillor representing Ward 22 of English Bazar Municipality in Malda district, was gunned down in cold blood on Thursday. According to reports [[1](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/shot-in-head-multiple-times-from-close-range-tmc-councillor-gunned-down-by-bike-borne-assailants-in-west-bengals-malda/articleshow/116880191.cms)], he was on his way to his factory when he was attacked by four assailants on two motorcycles. He was shot multiple times and succumbed to his injuries.



**[Anchor]:** This is incredibly violent. What has been the reaction from the state government and the TMC?



**[Dr. Sen]:** As you would expect, there has been widespread condemnation. West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee has expressed her outrage and grief, describing the incident as a “barbaric act”. The TMC has called for a thorough inquiry and has demanded swift justice for councillor Sarkar.



**[Anchor]:** What are the potential political ramifications of this assassination?



**[Dr. Sen]:** It’s still too early to say definitively, but this incident could have important political repercussions.It raises questions about law and order in the state and could possibly be exploited by opposition parties to attack the TMC government. The TMC, for its part, will likely portray this as an isolated incident and reinforce its commitment to maintaining peace and security.
