|June 15, 2024
West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose on Friday slammed the Mamata Banerjee Government and the police for stopping postpoll violence victims from meeting him.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has levelled allegations of post-poll violence against the Trinamool Congress, which the State's ruling party has denied.
After going to Maheshwari Bhavan in central Kolkata to meet post-poll violence victims who have taken shelter there, Bose interacted with about 150 people staying there and took details of their complaints, Raj Bhavan officials said.
After meeting the people, a visibly disturbed Governor criticised the Mamata Banerjee Government for stopping the victims from meeting him yesterday.
Yesterday, the Kolkata Police had barricaded the roads leading to the gates of Raj Bhavan to prevent the BJP's Leader of the Opposition from taking 200-odd victims of post-poll violence to meet the Governor who had given them permission to meet him. BJP leaders said that these are among the 10000-odd BJP supporters across Bengal who The Bengal Chief Minister cannot deface the Constitution of India. It is a dance of death, a macabre of what is happening in West Bengal."
He reminded Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that "however high you may think you are, the law is above you." he added.
