‘Anarchic Condition In Bengal Owing To TMC Govt’s Ruthless Approach’: Adhir Ranjan Urges President’s Intervention

West Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury also highlighted poll-related violence and attacks on party workers during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury wrote to President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday, claiming that West Bengal is experiencing an "anarchic condition" and requested her intervention to "restore law and order" in the state. The President of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, Chowdhury, highlighted poll-related violence and attacks on party workers during the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

"I wish to seek your kind intervention in restoring civility and law and order in public life in West Bengal. For me, at a personal level, it is not only disturbing but also deeply anguishing to see the anarchic condition in the state owing to the ruthless approach of the ruling party on the workers, sympathisers, and supporters of the opposition," Chowdhury stated in his letter.

He alleged that numerous innocent people have been killed, imprisoned, or detained. "There are also several cases of people not affiliated to the ruling party and inclined favourably to the opposition parties in the state have lost their jobs or means of livelihood because of the strongarm tactics of ruling dispensation in the state," Chowdhury said.

He mentioned the 'Sandeshkali incident' and clashes in Murshidabad district before the Lok Sabha elections and alleged that these were done "in order to polarise the voters".

"While the Opposition party members and workers of all hues suffered immensely before the Lok Sabha Polls due to the 'terror' unleashed by the ruling party in West Bengal, what is of immediate and very deep concern, and that requires immediate attention is the continued post-poll violence and intimidation of the Opposition workers by the ruling party in West Bengal," he said.

Absolutely No 'Space' For Opposition In West Bengal: Chowdhury

The senior Congress leader further asserted that there is "absolutely no 'space' for the opposition in the state" and brought up the death of a party worker in Jalpaiguri last week. "In effect, in the present times, it is “definitely” a situation of undeclared emergency that is prevalent in the state, where exercising Fundamental Rights remains a fairy tale.

"Considering the facts of the situation prevalent in West Bengal, I would sincerely plead with you, as the Head of the Nation, to ensure justice for the people. Earnestly look ahead to your kind intervention in restoring order in West Bengal," he added.
