Tapas Pal on a damage control mode, but Twitter reacts angrily

, July 1: Tapas Pal may be forgiven, but what he said cannot be forgotten. Be it "rape" or "raid", Mr Pal, the damage is done and Twitter is angry. You have given a chance, not only to the opposition to blow the bugle of rivalry even louder, but have also drawn the criticism of some of the most powerful people in India, tarnishing the image of the country.

But on their guards are the TMC leaders who choose to distance themselves them from the fiasco. Derek O'Brien, for example, in his refined tone said that the party has nothing to do with what the MP said.

The Twitter has reacted vehemently, here's how:
