Even after a week of the result declaration of the West Bengal assembly polls, post-poll violence continues to rampage across various parts of the state.
On Saturday, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed displeasure at not being updated on the law and order situation in the state with regard to post poll violence by the chief secretary and director general of police (DGP).
State Chief Secretary Alapan Bandopadhyay and DGP Virendra were summoned by the Governor on Saturday evening at the Raj Bhawan.
After the meeting, Mr. Dhankar took to Twitter wherein he wrote, "Unfortunately both came without any paper or reports sought. Directed them to send the same without delay. In a sense disgusted with such stance."
“Such drifting of governance @MamataOfficial from constitutional prescriptions is unfortunate and cannot be overlooked. While the State passes through most severe post poll violence, there is just NO input to the constitutional head. This is least expected," Mr Dhankhar wrote.
On Thursday, five days after the results of Assembly polls, the Kolkata police from its official Twitter handle urged people to report any fake news.
“If you have any information about FAKE NEWS You can send an email to cyberps@kolkatapolice.gov.in or Contact: Land 03322143000,” Kolkata police tweeted from its official handle.
As the violence in the state continues to be on a rampage, Non-resident Indians (NRIs) including the Bengali diaspora carried out protests in more than 30 countries over the post-poll violence in West Bengal, demanding strong action by the government, Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) state in-charge Amit Malviya said on Sunday.
The images shared by Malviya depict protesters carrying 'Hindu Lives Matter', 'Hindu genocide', 'Mamata Stop Hindu Killing, Stop Raping Hindus' placards on his Twitter handle.
Malviya tweeted, "The post poll violence in Bengal under Mamata Banerjee’s watch has brought global disrepute to West Bengal. There is massive protest across the globe. NRIs including Bengali diaspora across 50+ cities, spread over 30 countries and 5+ continents are demanding."
On Saturday, Kailash Vijayvargiya met BJP chief JP Nadda at his residence. He said that Nadda sought information regarding the violence in West Bengal.
"I shared with him the same. He told us to prepare documentation of this violence. The government will take action against those who indulged in hooliganism," Vijayvargiya said.
Although the Trinamool Congress (TMC) continues to deny all allegations, the BJP has alleged that 14 of its party workers have been killed in the TMC-led post-poll violence.
ANI reported Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state Assembly saying, "Why is there so much discrimination with Bengal? They sent the central team within 24 hours of oath-taking. Actually, they (BJP) are not ready to accept the public mandate. I never support violence. They are spreading fake news and fake videos."
She went on to say, "Election Commission needs immediate reforms. Bengal has a spine and it never bows. There was a conspiracy, all central ministers landed here. I don't know how many crores they spent on planes and hotels. Money was flowing like water here."
Banerjee on Friday also alleged that the BJP is not ready to accept the public mandate following the defeat in the election and asked why there is so much discrimination with the state.
