Bengal Guv Jagdeep Dhankhar calls upon Mamata Banerjee to update him over violence in state

In a tweet, Dhankhar, who is having a bitter relationship with the ruling party Trinamool Congress on various issues, slammed the state government for not giving any response to him over the violence through Chief Secretary and DGP.

He tweeted, "Am stunned that in spite of request made neither Chief Secretary nor Director General of Police have come to brief and update me on the current painful situation in the State. This is surely not acceptable given the enormity of situation."

"In view of enormity of situation I have called upon Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to personally update me at Raj Bhawan tomorrow at a time of her choice. There is no response from Chief Secretary and DGP thus far. This is unfortunate and unexpected of them."

Speaking against Mamata's rally in the morning, Dhankhar had said in a tweet, "I am extremely anguished that CM and Ministers are to spearhead rally against CAA, law of the land. This is unconstitutional. I call upon CM to desist from this unconstitutional and inflammatory act at this juncture and devote to retrieve the grim situation."

Not taking anyone's name, Mamata during her protest rally on Monday said, "I don't like the assistants of the BJP. They are more dangerous than the BJP."

Over the last few days, several buses, trains, railway stations, ticket booking centres of railway were ransacked, set on fire by people who were protesting against the CAA.

Urging all to protest peacefully, Mamata on Monday said, "Do not burn trains. The Centre has cancelled all trains. Don't do things which create problems of common people."

Amid violent protests in the state, the government on Sunday evening curbed internet services in Malda, Murshidabad, Howrah, North 24 Pargana, South 24 Pargana districts.
