A recent controversy has arisen in the state of West Bengal, where a complaint has been filed with the Governor, C.V. Ananda Bose, regarding a comment made by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The complaint, filed by State BJP leader and Calcutta High Court counsel Kaustav Bagchi, has raised concerns about the safety of Suvendu Adhikari, the Leader of Opposition in the state.
Bagchi's complaint references a portion of Banerjee's speech in the Assembly on Tuesday, where she was heard saying, "You are resorting to so much slandering against a particular community. Now if they call for a movement someday, will you be able to handle that?" Bagchi has shared a video clip of this speech on his social media account, questioning whether the Chief Minister is threatening the opposition leader on behalf of extremists.
Following this, Bagchi has sent a communique to the Governor's office, requesting intervention in the matter. Adhikari, on the other hand, has also spoken out against Banerjee's comments, stating that he will report the matter to the Union Home Ministry and approach the Calcutta High Court for a plea to restrain the Chief Minister from making such provocative statements.
In fact, Adhikari and three other BJP legislators have already been suspended from the House for a month, allegedly due to their unruly behavior on Monday. Adhikari has claimed that this suspension is a result of him being from the BJP, and similar actions were not taken when the chair was held by someone from the Left Front or the Congress.
This recent development has sparked a heated debate, with both sides voicing their concerns and grievances. It remains to be seen how the Governor will respond to the complaint and whether Adhikari's actions will result in any consequences for the Chief Minister.
