Murshidabad violence: Suvendu Adhikari sees silver lining in Calcutta HC's observations on NIA probe

Although a special division bench of the Calcutta High Court refrained from giving a direct order for National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into Murshidabad violence, the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, has found a silver lining in the court's observation.

According to the LoP, with the court clearly outlining the constitutional freedom of the Union government to decide about the NIA probe, the Centre is now free to take a call on the matter.

"I wholeheartedly welcome the observation of the Calcutta High Court regarding full discretion of the Union Government regarding deployment of Central Forces as well as the observation regarding the Union Government being already empowered to direct an NIA probe," said Adhikari.
