WIM West Bengal State Committee Formed with 13 Members at the Representatives’ Council Held in Berhampore

The West Bengal State Representatives’ Council of the Women India Movement (WIM) was held today at Hijol Conference Hall in Berhampore, Murshidabad district. The council began with the hoisting of the organisation’s flag by Runa Laila, National Committee Member and State Observer, along with Alia Parveen, State President. The formal proceedings were inaugurated by State General Secretary Tuhina Parveen, who welcomed the guests and delegates.

In his inaugural address, SDPI West Bengal State President Hakikul Islam spoke in detail about the prevailing political and social situation in the state and the country. He said that the Women India Movement is one of the platforms through which women can fight against the ongoing oppression and discrimination faced by women and work towards building a just and equitable society.

He further said, “Chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ inside the court, transferring IPS officer Busra Banu, and deleting the names of 13 crore voters through SIR—these are all part of the project to establish a Hindu Rashtra. We have launched a movement to defeat this agenda. Just as we fought against the British and sacrificed our lives to protect the country, we will fight against them and protect the country. On this path of struggle, every woman must become a Neha Bora.”

Alia Parveen, State President, spoke about the work carried out by the Women India Movement in West Bengal, highlighting the organisation’s achievements and the challenges it has overcome while moving forward.
