The Governor of Kolkata, CV Ananda Bose, sent a message to the state Secretariat Nabanna on Monday, expressing his concern over the presence of Kolkata Police at Raj Bhavan and requesting their immediate removal. Sources from the Raj Bhavan revealed that Governor Bose stated in his letter that he does not feel safe with the presence of Kolkata Police and urged for their prompt withdrawal.
However, there has been no response from the state government on this matter yet. It should be noted that on the evening of June 14, Governor Bose had released a statement demanding the replacement of Kolkata Police personnel who were stationed at Raj Bhavan. And now, he is calling for the complete removal of all Kolkata Police personnel from Raj Bhavan.
In his previous statement, the Governor also declared that he will not meet with the state minister in charge of the police department unless the victims of post-poll violence are allowed to meet him. He further mentioned that he had requested the state administration to ensure the safe return of these victims and to help them resume their normal lives. It is worth mentioning that the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, who also holds the position of state Home Minister, is responsible for the police department.
On Sunday evening, Governor Bose had a meeting with the Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, who brought along a group of post-poll violence victims to the Raj Bhavan. After the meeting, Bose made a strong statement, citing a recent order from the Calcutta High Court, and expressed his concern that he may be under house arrest. He also added that the victims of post-poll violence were previously not allowed to meet with him, and he is determined to take necessary actions in this matter, in the name of all the great men born in West Bengal.
