Stop Buddha’s threatening speeches: TMC
On a day when the top leadership of bitter rivals, the CPI-M, were busy closeted in a Politburo meeting here on Monday, the Trinamul Congress tried to gain the upper-hand politically by complaining to the home ministry in writing about the Left-led West Bengal government.
In its complaint to the home ministry, the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamul asked that Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee be stopped from what it alleged are “threatening” speeches and attempting to “gag” the voice of the Opposition in the state.
The Trinamul’s chief whip in the Lok Sabha, Sudip Bandopadhyay, in his missive to the ministry has charged the Bengal CM with “making heinous attempts to gag the voice of the Opposition”.
He further said, “His style of talking in public meetings is totally against the norms and practices of parliamentary democratic system and harmful for democracy.”
The Trinamul leader also asked why Mr Bhattacharjee “is delivering such type of aggressive and violent speeches” adding, “the chief minister should behave like a chief minister”.
The Trinamul chief whip drew attention to the recent utterance of Mr Bhattacharjee wherein he had reportedly said that Ms Mamata Banerjee would not be allowed to create chaos in the state and also asked why she had visited troubled Darjeeling or Maoist violence-hit Lalgarh and Jungalmahal.
