West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and her finance minister Amit Mitra were today the target of the ire of CPI-M and its students' wing activists with protesters manhandling the minister outside the Planning Commission in New Delhi.

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and her finance minister Amit Mitra were on Tuesday the target of the ire of CPI-M and its students' wing activists with protesters manhandling the minister outside the Planning Commission in New Delhi.

A group of about 150 protesters from CPI-M and SFI ambushed the chief minister and other ministers including Amit Mitra when they arrived at the Planing Commission complex around 3.45pm for annual state plan discussion.

Banerjee, who was advised by police not to get down from her car and drive inside, however, chose to walk through the slogan-shouting and placard-wielding crowd into the building.

While the chief minister was immediately shielded by policemen, it was left to Mitra's lot to face the anger of the activists who were protesting the death of a SFI member Sudipto Ghosh in police custody in Kolkata last week.

As SFI and CPI(M) members chanted "Mamata Banerjee hai hai (Mamata down down), TMC hai hai, Hatyari Mamata sharm karo (have shame, killer Mamata)", an agitated chief minister walked into the building shouting that "this is uncivilised behaviour".
