"Haridas... tomader pichone bamboo dewar odhikar thakle.. gonotontre amar o kotha bolar adhikar acche" (Mr Nobody, if you screw us up, I also have the right to protest in a democracy), local media channels aired the chief minister as saying. [Backing Madan Mitra: Is Mamata afraid?]

Supporters of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) disrupted normalcy across the state to protest Mitra's arrest. Trains were halted and national highways were blocked. Protest rally crippled the state capital and media persons were manhandled. TMC cadre clashed with the police in front of the Alipore court where Mitra was being taken.
