Kolkata: National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) submitted a review report on post-poll violence before Calcutta High Court, hearing of which is due on July 2.

The seven-member committee that was formed following the verdict of the High Court to visit the violence-prone areas across the state on Wednesday submitted the report before the five-judge bench of the Calcutta high court.

Notably, soon after the review petition was given by the Calcutta High Court, the ruling Trinamool Congress had requested the court to recall its decision but instead of recalling the verdict the Calcutta High Court had slammed the Mamata Banerjee government for failing to control the post-poll violence.

At a time when the TMC supremo is claiming that there is no post-poll violence in West Bengal and stating it to be the ‘game plan’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Atif Rasheed, vice-chairperson of the National Commission for Minorities and a member of the NHRC panel on Tuesday was heckled by alleged goons during their visit to South Kolkata’s Jadavpur area.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the NHRC had purposely created chaos in Jadavpur in South Kolkata yesterday by beating women there.

“It is a planted game of the Ministry of Home Affairs to malign West Bengal. The NHRC team had first beaten up the women of the area, for which the tension started in Jadavpur which the BJP is wrongly propagating,” slammed the West Bengal Chief Minister.

It can be recalled that 40 houses in Jadavpur had been damaged due to post-poll violence and while the NHRC team was investigating that area they claimed that TMC goons had attacked them.
