Kolkata, Dec 13 (IBNS): Scores of West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress activists are likely to hit the streets on Saturday in protest of state Sport and Transport minister Madan Mitra’s arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

All senior Trinamool leaders have been asked to join the march to put up a strong fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government at the Centre.

 

Armed with tri-colour party flags, Trinamool supporters from different parts of Bengal took out rallies and converged at Esplanade-BBD Bag area in the heart of Kolkata.

 

Mitra will be produced in the Alipur court on Saturday. Heavy security arrangements were made outside the court area to control any untoward situation during the production of the West Bengal minister in.

 

Sources said Mitra, who was ate the Electronic Complex police station on Friday night, was taken to the CBI office at Salt Lake CGO Complex at around 6.15 am for interrogation.

 

Reports said angry Trinamool activists also staged protests at various busy traffic intersections across the state. They demand immediate released of the minister from the CBI custody.

 

Meanwhile, state’s principal Opposition Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led Left Front demanded interrogation of chief minister Mamata Banerjee by the federal investigation agency in the ponzi meltdown.

 

CPI-M politburo member Brinda Karat demanded that Banerjee’s role in the Saradha scam should be also investigated by the CBI.
