TMC MP Samirul Islam writes to UN rights chief over drinking water crisis in Kolkata colony
Trinamool Congress MP Samirul Islam sent a letter to the United Nations human rights chief alleging that the municipal water supply to Jyoti Nagar Colony in Kolkata was discontinued after the Bharatiya Janata Party assumed power. He claims the cut‑off targets the colony’s Muslim residents, who he says are excluded from the party’s perceived vote bank, creating a drinking‑water crisis.
