Supreme Court.
The entire nation is shocked by the news of alleged sexual exploitation and violence of women in Sandeshkhali, West Bengal. Various opposition parties including BJP and Congress are cornering Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress in this matter. There have been several clashes between BJP workers and the police regarding entry into Sandeshkhali. However, on the other hand, the Supreme Court has refused to consider a PIL requesting a court-monitored investigation into the violence in Sandeshkhali.
Privileges Committee notice also banned
West Bengal BJP president and MP Sukanta Majumdar had written a letter to Parliament’s Privileges Committee alleging breach of privilege over the ill-treatment, cruelty and grievous hurt inflicted on him by security personnel in the Trinamool Congress-ruled state. On his complaint, the committee had issued notices to West Bengal Chief Secretary Bhagwati Prasad Gopalika, Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar, North 24 Parganas District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police and others to appear before the Privilege Committee. However, the Supreme Court stayed the notice and scheduled the hearing of the case after four weeks.
