Calcutta:
Mamata Banerjee’s party’s fight with the BJP over the attack on its boss JP Nadda lasted until Saturday and the Trinamool Congress accused the Union Interior Minister Amit Shah of “indirectly trying to impose an emergency in Bengal. .. terrorizing state IAS and IPS officers. “.
In a letter addressed to the Union Secretary of the Interior, Ajay Bhalla, who reports to Mr. Shah, Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee protested against his ministry’s letter dated Friday asking the Bengal chief secretary to release three officers from the Indian Police Service (IPS) per “central delegation”.
Claiming that JP Nadda was himself to blame for throwing stones at his convoy on December 10, Mr. Banerjee said the convoy had 50 motorcycles and 30 cars with BJP flags.
“The three officers were deployed on December 10 near the scene of the incident. His motive is very clear: by taking them, he wants to create pressure on these three police officers,” Banerjee wrote.
The Trinamool MP, who spearheaded the party’s offer on Friday to counter the BJP bombing over the incident, also alleged that the center’s subpoena of West Bengal’s chief bureaucrat and police chief which has already been rejected has a “political motive. “.
“It seems that with a political motive and at the request of his minister, who is a politician belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he has issued such a letter,” Banerjee said, referring to Monday’s summons.
“He is trying to coerce West Bengal state officials with political revenge. It appears that he is also interfering with the federal structure incorporated into the Indian constitutional scheme,” he added.
West Bengal’s two main bureaucrats asked on Friday to be excused from meeting in Delhi over the law and order situation in the state, with particular reference to the attack on the convoy of BJP President JP Nadda.
The growing dispute over the attack on Nadda’s convoy on Thursday has opened a new front in the bitter dispute between West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP ahead of state elections to be held next year.
The convoy of the BJP chief was attacked with bricks, stones and sticks near Calcutta. Some leaders were injured and cars damaged in the incident, which the BJP has blamed on supporters of the Trinamool Congress.
The incident took place in Diamond Harbor, the parliamentary constituency of the Chief Minister’s nephew, Abhishek Banerjee.
The videos showed rocks breaking through windshields and windows as cars moved on a busy road in Diamond Harbor, about 60 km from Kolkata. The BJP said its leaders Kailash Vijayvargiya and Mukul Roy were injured.
West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, a representative of the BJP-led government in the center, also extended his permanent war with the Trinamool government after the incident, reprimanding the party in press conferences and public missives to the center.
