Even Actor turned politician TMC MP Nushrat Jahan had faced some hate tweets because she's Bengali. She gave a befitting reply to haters by saying, ¡°We ¡®Bengali Girls¡¯ also run around ¡ª cook n conquer the world. Stop disgracing a community for your agendas. I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t know your Maach-Masala-Mishti well¡±,

She further added, ¡°I do not support any1 against law & humanity¡­ I am sure the Administration is doing their job, and the real story shall come out soon¡­ but I definitely do not support anything or any1 causing disgrace to our culture.. #Proudtobebengali¡±.

The trolls also addressed the Bengali women as witches who perform black magic and this didn¡¯t go down well with BJP¡¯s mahila morcha president and famous fashion designer Agnimitra Paul. Retaliating against such trolls she said, ¡° While calling Bengali women witches remember kirtibas¡¯s Ramayan before Ram fought Ravan in Ramayana whom did he worship, it¡¯s Devi Durga.. Rest is Epic¡­ We have always been devis¡­ May it be beauty or in brain¡­ If somebody has done something wrong punish him or her as an individual by the jurisdiction of law¡­ But if you will try to hit an entire community by virtue if it¡­ That will be not just humorous but idiotic.¡±

He said, ¡°On August 3, our cyber cell has received a complaint against a sexually explicit content in connection with the case and investigation has been initiated¡±.
