Suvendu Adhikari has urged the NIA to investigate TMC MLA Narendranath Chakraborty over his remarks on the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly Suvendu Adhikari, has demanded today that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) must inquire Trinamul Congress (TMC) legislator Narendranath Chakraborty (photo right) over his recent remarks concerning the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack.

Mr Chakraborty, the MLA from Pandaveswar and TMC's West Burdwan president, reportedly made a public statement suggesting detailed knowledge about the circumstances surrounding the attack that killed 26 people. His comments included references to the withdrawal of security arrangements prior to the incident—an assertion Adhikari says raises serious concerns.

My friend and legendary movie critic, the late Derek Malcolm, always felt that Pather Panchali was brilliant.
