News Desk: The women’s wing of BJP, on Tuesday, announced self-defence training for women of West Bengal as Agnimitra Paul feels West Bengal is not safe for women. She said that fifty women from each of the 23 districts of the state will be taught basic self-defence skills by trained experts.
Agnimitra Paul said “We have chosen PM Modi’s birthday to officially flag off the programme, and September 17 also happens to be Mahalaya. The ground-level workshops will begin from October 2 with one day slotted for every district. Any woman can enroll. We speak for the safety of every single woman in the state, it is not for women of any particular party”
She took the reference of MP Mimi Chakraborty’s incident and said “We are happy Mimi mustered the courage to protest. This shows the need for imparting self-defence skills to every single woman, on the street or at home”
