WB Governor asks Mamata to control the ‘Total lawlessness and anarchy’ in Kolkata after detention of TMC leaders

Kolkata: Amid reports of stone-pelting by TMC workers who gathered outside the CBI office after the arrest of ministers Firhad Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, and MLA Madan Mitra by the CBI in connection with the Narada scam, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday drew Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s attention towards ‘total lawlessness and anarchy’ over the issue.

He further stated that the police and administration are silent and hoped that the chief minister realised the repercussions of ‘lawlessness and failure of constitutional mechanism’.

The Governor further expressed the need to contain the ‘explosive situation that is worsening minute by minute’.

“@MamataOfficial Total lawlessness and anarchy. Police and administration in silence mode. Hope you realize repercussions of such lawlessness and failure of constitutional mechanism. Time to reflect and contain this explosive situation that is worsening minute by minute,” tweeted the Governor.

Dhankhar further said in another tweet, “Invited attention @MamataOfficial On channels and in public domain I notice arson and pelting of stones at CBI office. Pathetic that Kolkata Police @KolkataPolice and West Bengal Police @WBPolice are just onlookers. Appeal to you to act and restore law and order.”

A large number of TMC supporters staged a protest outside the CBI office after four party leaders and West Bengal Cabinet Ministers were arrested by the agency.

The CBI on Monday arrested TMC ministers Firhad Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, MLA Madan Mitra and former Kolkata Mayor Sovan Chatterjee in connection with the Narada sting operation.
