Ex-BJP leader parveen alleges sandeshkhali incident was scripted in bengal

In Sandeshkhali and Basirhat, I stood by women who had reported molestation and harassment, believing I was fighting for the truth, Parveen stated during a media briefing. “Later, I realized it was all fabricated—a scripted story. Mobile phones, media, and money were used, and BJP leaders orchestrated it through these means.” Parveen also remarked, The BJP is in conflict with the TMC. When I discovered that TMC leaders were fair and blameless, I decided I could no longer support the falsehoods.

She claimed to possess “numerous pieces of evidence” showing that BJP leaders had “scripted” the Sandeshkhali incident. In her Thursday press conference, Parveen further accused BJP leaders of using “SIM cards and phones” to manipulate the women of Sandeshkhali.
