West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday urged Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar “to kindly refrain from making unwarranted statements and allow administration to conduct an impartial investigation to find out the truth” in connection with the violence in Birbhum district in which six women and two children were burnt to death.
“Our State is always peaceful, barring a few sporadic incidents. But whenever an unfortunate incident happens, you leave no stone unturned to castigate and malign the State government. Your utterances and statements have political overtones which provide support to other political parties to browbeat the government,” Ms. Banerjee wrote in a letter addressed to the Governor.
The Governor was not forthcoming with his comments “whenever much more heinous incidents happened in BJP-ruled States and also in other parts of the country”, she stated.
