West Bengal Governor On Nabanna Abhijan
West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Tuesday, August 27, stated that the state handled the crisis by using excessive force and coercive authority, disobeying the Supreme Court’s rulings that the state cannot use its power against peaceful protestors. He felt that it was a ghastly sight which was seen on the streets of Kolkata on Tuesday, the day of protest and that it could not be appreciated in any manner. “As Governor, I am watching, I have taken my inference.” He said while pointing out that he is having difficulties at the moment about making public decisions. He concluded by saying that because of how serious the situation is, everyone involved in public life feels compelled to band together and confront the government’s reckless actions. The circumstances are not typical at all.
