By Suryagni Roy: Senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee on Friday commented on the attack on West Bengal minister Birbaha Hansda's vehicle and said agitations cannot take the form of hooliganism.
Cars of media personnel were also attacked in the incident, he said, and accused the BJP of staging the attack.
Giving out details about the attack incident, Banerjee said, "Some people created a barbaric atmosphere and attacked Hansda's car while we were on the way."
"Windshields of cars were vandalised and cars of media personnel were also attacked," he added.

Speaking further about the incident, Abhishek Banerjee said, "I'll talk in case there are any issues. Different groups already spoke to me while I was in Purulia and Bankura."
"Agitations cannot take the form of hooliganism. Scarves were used to pull TMC workers travelling on bikes. What kind of agitation is this? No one will stop you if you agitate peacefully," Banerjee said.
"Why use bricks when you want to talk?" he asked.
ABHISHEK BANERJEE ACCUSES BJP OF ATTACK
Abhishek Banerjee, a Z-plus protectee, led a roadshow in Jhargram's Binpur and Gopiballavpur as part of his Trinamooley Nabojowar (new wave in Trinamool) campaign. Following the rally, he was travelling through Salboni when members of the Kurmi community, who are protesting and are demanding ST status, gathered on both sides of the road, a party leader told PTI.
As his car moved ahead, they allegedly started throwing stones at the convoy.
"The vehicle of Hansda, which was in the convoy, was damaged in the attack," the Diamond Harbour MP said.
A huge police contingent was rushed to the spot to control the situation, officials said.
It could not be immediately known if anyone was arrested.
Meanwhile, Banerjee alleged that the BJP was behind the attack.
"I support democratic protests. If somebody wants to come to me and speak, they are always free to do so, but what form of protest is this that you are throwing stones, beating up people, and ransacking vehicles?" he said.
"I believe that some miscreants of BJP disguised as members of the Kurmi community are behind this attack to malign TMC's campaign," he alleged, addressing a party programme late in the night in Gopiballavpur.
He also demanded a statement from the leaders of the Kurmi community over the attack within 48 hours.
"I am giving a 48-hour ultimatum to the leaders of the Kurmi community. They should clarify whether they were behind this incident. If they don't give a statement, it will prove that they were behind it, and then the law will take its course," he said.
Hansda, whose car was vandalised in the attack, said violence can never be the form of a democratic protest.
"This can never be a fight for the rights of a community. All those who have thrown stones are outsiders, and are using the garb of being members of a specific community to justify the violence," said Hansda, the MoS for Forests.
