What is Mamata vs Abhishek vs Prashant Kishor row? 10 things to know
This question involves a one-person-one-post campaign, which is not currently approved by Mamata. However, youth leaders close to Abhishek tweeted their support. A minister accused I-PAC of tweeting on her behalf without her permission.
Amid speculation over a rift between Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek, a spat over the “one person, one post” tweet has dragged Prashant Kishor’s I-PAC into it. Mamata Banerjee called an emergency meeting of top party officials at her residence this evening. State General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, Secretary General Partha Chatterjee, State Party Chairman Subrata Bakshi and Ministers Philhad Hakim, Arrup Biswas and Chan Delhima Bhattacharya has been asked to attend the meeting.
Mamata, Abhishek loyalists face off in social media spat, leaders meet today
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s going on.
- The controversy centers on a speculative power struggle between Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek.
- On Friday, some of Abhishek Banerjee’s loyalists took to Twitter to support the one-person-one-post policy that Mamata had relaxed in November last year.
- As the name suggests, the one-man-one-post policy refers to a political leader taking a position in government. Standards have been relaxed for some MLAs that also compete in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. Firhad Hakim currently holds two positions; he is Minister and Mayor of Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
- Tweets in support of the one-person-one-post policy include Abhishek Banerjee’s cousins Akash Banerjee, Agnisa Banerjee, and Aditi Gayen.
- At 3.30pm on Friday, Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya tweeted in support of the one-man-one-post policy. At 4:5 p.m., the tweet was deleted, with the minister claiming that I-PAC was posting on her behalf without her knowledge.
- The I-PAC in the Mamata vs Abhishek controversy emerged. Prashant Kishor’s I-PAC issued a statement saying it does not handle any digital assets of the party or any of its leaders. I-PAC says minister blatantly lied.
- There are reports that the relationship between Trinamool and Prashant Kishor is not good, but I-PAC has been embroiled in the party’s infighting, although the party leader has denied such speculation.
- While Minister Chandrima blamed I-PAC, the participation of the party’s youth wing was not ruled out throughout the campaign. TMC youth leader Sudip Raha said he was confused by the party’s stance as Mamata Banerjee herself had earlier announced the one-man-one-post policy.
- Minister and Calcutta Mayor Firhad Hakim clarified that the party does not support the one-person-one-post policy now. If Mamata Banerjee wants, she can bring the policy because she has the power. Firhad Hakim said the social media campaign in support of One Hair was not sanctioned by the party.
- The internal feud came to prominence after the shortlists of candidates from 112 civic groups in two countries surfaced. One was signed by Partha Chatterjee and Subrata Bakshi, and the other was uploaded to the party’s social media. Mamata said the signed list was the correct one.

Who is Harun Abdul-Malik Yener? Florida man arrested over bomb threat to New York Stock Exchange
FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener for allegedly planning a bombing at the NYSE to “reset” the US government.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as part of a plan to “reset” or “reboot” the U.S. government. According to unsealed court documents, Yener faces charges of attempting to use an improvised explosive device (IED) against a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”
The investigation into Yener began in February when the FBI received a tip about his possession of bomb-making plans stored in a locked Coral Springs storage unit. Upon executing a search warrant, agents discovered “bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics” that could be used to construct explosives, per the criminal complaint.
Court documents reveal that Yener was not only active on YouTube, posting videos on making explosives and fireworks, but also had a history of making threats.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener wanted to ‘reset’ US government
Back in March, Yener admitted to undercover federal agents that he had experience in creating “rockets” and “bombs” and had previously sought to join a “domestic extremist group.” He also revealed that in 2015, he had considered travelling to Iraq to join ISIS but ultimately decided against it, doubting the group’s ability to accomplish “their objectives.”
Yener also attempted to join extremist groups such as the Boogaloo Bois and the Proud Boys but was reportedly denied membership due to his stated desire to “pursue martyrdom.”
Yener allegedly shared his plot to attack the NYSE with an undercover FBI agent, identifying November 18 as his intended date for the bombing. He wanted to “reboot” or “reset” US government through the “bombing”.
“There is one place that would be hella easy… the stock exchange, that would be a great hit. Tons of people would support it. They would see it and think, dude, this guy makes sense, they are [profanity] robbing us. So that’s perfect,” he told the undercover agent.
On November 12, Yener reportedly made several audio recordings he planned to send to NBC News following the attack. He expressed his vision of the explosion as being comparable to a nuclear event, saying, “I feel like Bin Laden.” He allegedly added that the detonation would ensure “[a]nything outside” the building “will be wiped out” and “anything inside there would be killed.”
Following his arrest, Yener made his first court appearance and remains in custody as he awaits trial.
