West Bengal Opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari wrote to West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose on Thursday, urging him to intervene and visit places where riots occurred during Ram Navami celebrations in the state.
Adhikari alleged, “The Ram Navami Processions were disrupted and attacked at various places across the State of West Bengal, due to the CM's provocative speech which successfully incited miscreants, who were assured that the Law enforcement Agency won't act against them as their hands have been tied due to CM's public stance on Ram Navami; a day, which according to her, ‘Is a day for Rioting’.”
Sharing his letter to the governor along with a video of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Adhikari tweeted, “I have written a letter to the Honourable Governor Dr. C.V. Ananda Bose, apprising him regarding the attacks on the processions taken out on the occasion of Ram Navami and requested him to immediately intervene in order to control the failing Law and Order Situation, as well as getting the incidents investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).” He added, “I would like to request @ECISVEEP to take action against the Chief Minister, whose provocation led to such untoward incidents.”
A woman was injured in a blast that happened at a Ram Navami rally on Tuesday evening at Saktipur in Murshidabad district of West Bengal. The woman was taken to the Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital.
In a controversial speech recently, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, “If you see them (BJP) sloganeering on (April) 17, it is their (BJP's) day of riot,” PTI reported.
