The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leadership today sniffed a BJP-RSS hand behind the cancellation of party supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's engagement by St Stephen's College in New Delhi and said her voice "cannot be silenced".

St Stephen's College has withdrawn an invite extended to Banerjee to attend an event and interact with the students of the famed institute.

The event, planned by one of the societies of the college, is scheduled to be held on August 1.

Banerjee was supposed to attend the event, but the principal denied permission and the invitation was withdrawn yesterday, a source said.

Reacting to the development, TMC national spokesperson and leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha Derek O'Brien said, "First, the Vivekananda event in Chicago, then her China visit and now St Stephens. Mamata Banerjee is giving the BJP-RSS sleepless nights. Let them keep trying, she cannot be silenced."
