The murderous assault on officers of the Enforcement Directorate in West Bengal by a mob instigated by native Trinamool Congress leaders on Friday has shocked the nation. Several of them have been overwhelmed up by the mob and their official automobiles have been vandalized. Only 27 jawans of Central Reserve Police Force have been current and so they have been unable to cease the a number of hundred sturdy mob. The ED crew had gone to the house of native Trinamool chief Shahjahan Shekh, whose title has figured within the multi-crore ration rip-off. Shahjahan Sheikh has an extended legal file, he locked his home from inside, when the assault befell. Other prime leaders of Trinamool Congress whose names determine within the ration rip-off embrace Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s shut affiliate and minister Jyotipriya Mallick and former Bongaon municipality chairman Shankar Adhya, who was arrested on Saturday by ED. Jyotipriya Mallick was arrested final 12 months.
After Friday’s assault, BJP leaders have demanded Mamata Banerjee’s resignation and imposition of President’s rule. West Bengal governor C V Ananda Bose summoned the Director General of Police and Home Secretary to know why native police didn’t present safety to the ED crew. Three ED officers, Rajkumar Ram, Somnath Dutta and Ankur Gupta have been badly wounded within the mob assault. They saved their lives by taking an auto to flee, whereas the mob looted their cellphones and laptops. Trinamool Congress leaders tried accountable the ED for this assault. They alleged that ED officers didn’t inform the native police upfront and reached Shahjahan Sheikh’s residence for finishing up searches. But Basirhat SP Joby Thomas nailed the lie when he mentioned that ED had knowledgeable police in regards to the raid on e-mail at round 8.30 am on Friday. What occurred in West Bengal was anticipated. With ED and CBI finishing up raids in opposition to ministers and bureaucrats in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is nervous.
Already, a number of crores of rupees in money have been seized in the course of the raids in opposition to the important thing accused in academics recruitment rip-off. Prior to that, Sharada chit fund rip-off and Rose Valley rip-off have uncovered the shenanigans of Trinamool Congress leaders. Ministers and Trinamool leaders like Partha Chatterjee, Jyotipriya Mallick, Madan Mitra, Mukul Roy, Sudeep Bandopadhyay, Tapas Paul and others have been named in these scams. Several ministers and leaders near Mamata Banerjee are nonetheless in jail or had been jailed. ED and CBI probes are nonetheless occurring, however the moot level is : Mamata Banerjee has not disowned any of her leaders or shut bureaucrats who’ve been discovered concerned in corruption. In February 2019, on the eve of Lok Sabha elections, Mamata Banerjee sat on a two-day dharna in Kolkata to forestall the arrest of Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajiv Kumar by CBI. The identical Rajiv Kumar is now the Director General of West Bengal Police.
In a state the place the chief minister herself tried to cease a CBI probe, one shouldn’t be shocked if her celebration leaders instigate a mob to assault ED officers. I consider, such assaults on officers of investigative companies are neither good for our democratic system, neither is it good for Centre-State relations. It was Mamata Banerjee who had challenged the Left Front authorities in Bengal ten years in the past and had uprooted the Left from energy. If she ranges allegation of misuse of ED by BJP, how can she justify misuse of West Bengal Police? Governments come and go, chief ministers come and go, however the administrative system stays as a replacement. The bureaucrats stay a part of the system and so they discharge their duties. If officers of central companies are attacked in states, what would be the destiny of our system? Will there be assaults on central company officers in the event that they go to Ranchi to query Chief Minister Hemant Soren, or in the event that they go to Patna to query deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav? These officers are solely performing their duties, irrespective of which celebration or chief minister is in energy within the state. If state police is unable to cease assaults on officers of central companies, motion should be taken in opposition to senior cops.
