Kolkata: West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar was criticized by TMC and Left Front leaders after he met National Human Rights Commission chairman Arun Mishra.

Slamming the Governor, senior CPI (M) chairman Biman Bose claimed that the Governor is going against the Constitution.
“Political leaders can visit the National Human Rights Commission chairman but a Governor cannot visit that person to complain about a state. It is against the Constitution and the Governor is not abiding by the it,” claimed the senior politburo member.

“There are complaints of more than 50 murders, 100 rapes, over 500 people are displaced in other states due to the post-poll violence. This complaint letter written by the Governor will be submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs and will also give a copy to President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” mentioned the sources.
