Trinamool seeks explanation from Tapas Pal on comment
KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress tonight demanded an explanation in writing from the party's actor-MP Tapas Pal within 48 hours for allegedly threatening to kill opposition CPI(M) workers and have their women raped if a single ruling party worker was attacked in West Bengal.

"Tapas Pal will need to provide a written explanation to the party within 48 hours," party spokesperson Derek O Brien said in a statement late tonight.

"The statements made by Mr Tapas Pal are utterly insensitive. The party does not in any way endorse what he said many weeks ago, which is being played out on TV channels today," O Brien said earlier in the day.

"... I will shoot you guys if a Trinamool Congress worker is ever attacked. If you have the guts, then stop me.... If you insult the mothers and daughters of Trinamool workers, then I won't spare you. I will let loose my boys in your homes and they will commit rape. I will teach each of you a lesson," Pal said.
