Mamata Banerjee detained during Delhi protest, compares situation to Emergency

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was detained during a protest in Delhi on Monday. The TMC leader wore a band-aid over her mouth as a symbolic gesture during the demonstration.

Banerjee compared the current political situation to India's Emergency period, stating it was "bigger than Emergency." She was protesting against what she described as state overreach and political suppression.

The detention marked an escalation in Banerjee's confrontation with the central government. Her symbolic protest and strong rhetoric reflect growing tensions between her administration and New Delhi over governance and federal matters.
