Total lawlessness and anarchy: WB Governor on TMC agitation

 

 

 

 

EXPRESSING concern over agitation by TMC workers outside the CBI office here and elsewhere in West Bengal after the arrest of two Ministers and others in the Narada sting case, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday alleged that there is “total lawlessness and anarchy” in the State and the police and administration are in “silence” mode. The Governor urged Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to contain the “explosive situation” and asked her to weigh the “repercussions of such lawlessness and failure of constitutional mechanism”.

 

He also accused the State administration of allowing the “situation to drift” and “not taking any tangible action” against the agitators. Taking to Twitter, Dhankhar said, “Message @MamataOfficial Total lawlessness & anarchy. Police and administration in silence mode. Hope you realise repercussions of such lawlessness and failure of constitutional mechanism. Time to reflect and contain this explosive situation that is worsening minute by minute.” “Invited attention @MamataOfficial on channels and in public domain I notice arson and pelting of stones at CBI office. Pathetic that Kolkata Police and West Bengal Police are just onlookers.

 

Appeal to you to act and restore law and order,” the Governor said. He asked the Government and the State police to take all steps to maintain law and order. “Concerned at alarming situation. Call upon @MamataOfficial to follow constitutional norms & rule of law. Sad- situation is being allowed to drift with no tangible action by authorities,” Dhankhar said on the microblogging site.
