Meanwhile, members of the Sikh community planned to gherao the BJP's state headquarters on Muralidhar Lane in Kolkata in protest against the 'Khalistani' jibe, TMC sources said.
While the BJP delegation which had planned to visit Sandeshkhali went to the West Bengal Raj Bhavan later, the Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury sat on a dharna at the place where he was stopped.
Protests persisted in Sandeshkhali for the seventh consecutive day today on February 14, with a significant number of women taking to the streets, demanding the arrest of TMC leader Sheikh Shajahan and his alleged aides.
