Kolkata/IBNS: The Left parties have called a 12-hour bandh in West Bengal after its students and youth leaders met with violence during their march to state secretariat Nabanna with multiple demands.
In various visuals accessed by India Blooms, the Left protesters are seen water-cannoned by police and several were lathicharged.
A few of them were also seen suffering bleeding from their injuries.
In protest, the Left parties will hold a bandh from 6 am to 6 pm on Friday.
Slamming the Mamata Banerjee government over the violence, CPI-M leader Md. Salim told the press, "While the state government is allowing the BJP's Rath Yatra, it blocks the march by the Leftists who are demanding jobs for youth."
The Left students and youth leaders were demanding various government service examinations and recruitments.
