“Sheer lawlessness is prevailing everywhere in Bengal under Mamata Banerjee’s rule. Her government has formed a special investigation team (SIT) comprising senior police officials to suppress the Rampurhat carnage. The role of police officers is already under scanner, following their alleged involvement in deaths of Anish Khan and our party councillor in Jhalda municipality,”
The Congress too raised the issue of its councillor’s murder at Jhalda, Purulia in the Parliament today, with leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha Adhir Chowdhury demanded a court monitored-CBI inquiry into the murders of its councillor and Anis Khan. Mr Chowdhury’s speech was interrupted by the Trinamul MPs in Parliament.
“The killers of Tuhina and Anish are roaming freely. The ruling Trinamul Congress is trying to protect the killers and purposely assigned the state police to cover up the issues. Only a CBI probe can find out the actual miscreants.”
He specifically mentioned that both the Congress contestants from wards. No. 11 and 4 of Behrampore municipality have dozens of criminal records. Moreover, the Congress nominees from wards no. 5, 21 and 27 also have criminal antecedents, Mukherjee alleged.
"Now we have to go for elections because our Didi (chief minister, Mamata Banerjee) wants it to happen. The state Election Commission, nowadays, hardly matters in this regard. The state Election Commission is a toothless tiger that cannot disobey Didi,”
Chowdhury said that the parliamentary ethics committee led by L K Advani never opened the file of Narada scam in order to save the TMC MPs, MLAs and ministers who were seen taking bribe in a sting operation video.
He said that Miss Banerjee sought help from Congress to become CM in 2011, adding that since then she has damaged Congress base which has culminated in a wipeout but BJP has gained in the last Assembly elections.
In a letter to Chowdhury, Mitra said he was resigning as he was “not motivated to work” under the latter's leadership.
