Shivani Jaiswal ,Kolkata- TMC leader and Member of Parliament Abhishek Banerjee faced a security scare on Saturday when unidentified individuals allegedly threw eggs during his visit to a public gathering in West Bengal. The incident occurred while Banerjee was interacting with local residents and party supporters.
The situation became tense after a group of protesters gathered near the event venue and started shouting slogans.
