Mamata’s TMC received hate mail before her tour of UK to woo investors

It has been reported that the TMC of Mamata Banerjee has been receiving threats over e-mail and phone calls from foreign location like London, New York and New Jersey asking the chief minister to call off her trip to London with the intention to woo investors. This has been happening over the last fortnight but has been revealed only now because TMC did not wasn’t it to cloud its Eid celebration on July 18 and the Martyrs' Day event on July 21.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 26 July 2015.

These hate mails are purportedly from Hindu radical groups based in Britain — the general message is for the chief minister to call off her UK trip and asking British industrialists not to invest in Bengal. In the opinion of TMC, these emails are part of a larger conspiracy to disrupt the chief minister's UK tour. The target is Bengal and its development.
Most of the e-mails have been sent with attachments which are apparently long press releases — and the tone is of the bias of the CM towards a certain community. The mails warn potential UK-based investors against putting their money into "communal" Bengal.
The team of the CM along with her 66-member entourage of ministers and bureaucrats has already left for a four day of the UK. She is scheduled to meet industry captains and discuss investment possibilities in Bengal.
Derek O'Brien, the party's national spokesperson and leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha, who received 10 such emails in the past 24 hours, has taken up the matter with the police. The matter has also been referred to the Indian High Commission in London. The London Metropolitan Police is also expected to be apprised of the development.
