The Trinamool Congress has always celebrated July 21 as a mega event. The Trinamool Congress organized this program in memory of the brutal killing of 13 people in the Mahakaran Abhiyan of the then Youth Congress workers in 1993. And the Martyrs' Day is celebrated there because of the place where the incident took place. But this year is going to be an exception. Because, after the debacle in the 26th, the political complications in the Ghasful camp, which is divided into two camps, are increasing. There is a tension over the party symbol and funds. This time, the challenge for the Kalighat Trinamool is different. Until now, big leaders from other parties were used to join the Ekushey stage, but now Kalighat is being pierced with the same weapon. The party has been divided to such an extent that maintaining the symbol is the future. Most of the MPs and MLAs are now rebels. At least Mamata Banerjee is reluctant to accept the leadership of Abhishek Banerjee. At the moment, the most important thing for the Trinamool is to deal with the defectors and rebels. Therefore, the Trinamool wants to strengthen the organization by bringing all the party leaders and activists who were with Mamata Banerjee during the bad times, or are still with her but may not have received proper respect or the opportunity to work, to this year's Ekushey rally. However, the location of the meeting is still uncertain.
Where can July 21 be celebrated? The state police DG is being pressed to inform about the July 21 Martyrs' Day program at Ritabrata Shibir

Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: Esplanade to inform about an alternative venue. The Kolkata Police has rejected the 'real' Trinamool's application by Kalighat Trinamool and Ritabrata Banerjee. The Ritabrata supporters met the state police DG Siddhanath Gupta on Wednesday to inform about an alternative venue. They sought permission to hold a meeting at the foot of the Gandhi statue as an alternative. Meanwhile, the Kalighat Trinamool supporters may probably approach the court.
