By invoking prostitution,CPM MP Anil Basu has offended not just the Trinamool Congress but sex workers too. Women of Sonagachi,Kolkatas red-light area,have taken out protest rallies,burnt an effigy of the Chief Minister and sent an open letter to the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court seeking action against the MP.

Questioning the source of Mamata Banerjees funds,Basu had said that sex workers in Sonagachi do not even look at smaller clients when they get a big client and added that the Trinamool has found a big client,a reference to the US.
