CM Mamata Banerjee to Address Shaheed Diwas Rally in Kolkata Today

Kolkata, West Bengal: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is set to address the Shaheed Diwas rally today in Kolkata, an annual event held in memory of the 1993 police firing that claimed the lives of several youths. The victims had been part of a protest demanding that voter ID cards be made the sole document required for casting votes.

The rally, organised by the Trinamool Congress (TMC), has been a key political and emotional event for the party and its supporters. CM Banerjee, who led the 1993 protest as a youth leader, is expected to pay tribute to the martyrs and use the platform to highlight issues around electoral integrity, democracy, and opposition to central policies.
