Chief minister Mamata Banerjee is home minister for 9.3 crore people. Why family members of the Opposition party supporters, who were killed or attacked would not get justice from her,” asked Dutta.
Dutta alleged that the TMC was creating a reign of terror in the state prior to the three recently-concluded-by-elections and was continuing to unleash post poll violence. “We are apprehending Singh’s family members will not get justice as police will follow the instruction of the TMC supremo and will not arrest the real criminal behind this attack. But Miss Banerjee is a chief minister and home minister she should not be bias do injustice against Singh,” Dutta said.
