President’s Rule In West Bengal Due To Sandeshkhali Violence?

Former DGP and Rajya Sabha Member Brij Lal has demanded for a President’s Rule in whole of West Bengal. He said, “BJP National President JP Nadda has formed a fact-finding team with 2 Union ministers and 4 MPs, including myself. There is absolute anarchy in West Bengal… All these incidents are being done solely by Bangladeshi immigrants who have been made to settle there by Mamata Banerjee as a vote bank. They have also been provided with ration cards and Aadhar cards. Sandeshkhali is a result of this… Rape and extortion are very common organised crimes of the TMC. The main accused, Shahjahan Sheikh is on the run and is being shielded by the TMC. Most of the crime in the state of West Bengal is being executed by Bangladeshi immigrants with the full support of the TMC…CAA-NRC should be immediately implemented in the state. It is difficult to do so, but the President’s rule needs to be imposed in West Bengal…”

A few days ago, the Governor of West Bengal met with the victims in Sandeshkhali and recently, Arun Haldar, the Chairperson of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Anju Bala, Member of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes met with the victims.
