Kolkata: West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar once again took to social media and slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for post-poll violence.
“Emergency is grim reminder of ravages of authoritarianism & value of democracy. Media, pillar of democracy, need to project enormity of post poll violence/human right violations @MamataOfficial and inaction will be monumental blunder & contribute to ever silencing of sufferers”, Governor Dhankar tweeted.
The West Bengal Governor also slammed the TMC supremo by stating that once people used to come to Bengal for education, business, healthcare and claimed that now they are moving to ‘congenial havens’.
Notably, the ruling Trinamool Congress and the Governor are in loggerheads even since Dhankhar took the post in 2019. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee recently had written three letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over removal of Dhankhar from Governor’s post.
Meanwhile, after visiting the violent areas, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Committee will interact with complainants and victims of post-poll violence tomorrow in Kolkata’s Salt Lake area. Floating a cicular, NHRC had also given two numbers and an email Id where even the displaced workers from any political parties can contact them and share their grievances.
It can be recalled that taking a potshot at Mamata Banerjee government, Calcutta High Court had instructed the NHRC to form a committee to review a post-poll violence situation West Bengal along with West Bengal’s counterpart and had also instructed them to place the review before the court by June 30.
