State's now exercising its authority giving a go-by to all rhymes and reasons to teach lessons whoever venture to criticize its activities.CM thinks she's infallible and conspiracy is being hatched all around to show her in poor light.She lashes out even at judiciary which comes to the rescue of the hapless who've incurred her wrath.Cops act .with brazen discrimination to satisfy her.The incidence of mercilessly heckling the Principal of Raigunj College inside the College campus by TMC activists under the leadership of a TMC Councillor was dubbed by CM as a minor incident perpetrated by 'small' boys.The perpetrators were slapped with bailable offences and released immediately after arrest.Almost for same offence, if not a lighter one, at Majdia College students belonging to SFI were booked under non-bailable section and they were put behind the bar for 50 days.CM initially said Park street rape case was concocted and later Damayanti Sen's investigation revealed rape actually happened.Enraged CM didn't hesitate to transfer an efficient officer like Ms.Sen to a position of lesser importance.It, in fact, helped send an encouraging signal to the miscreants and opened the floodgate of rapes there after.CM took it an affront to her when Jadavpore University Professor Ambika Mahapatra and his septuagenarian neighbour Mr Subrata Sengupta, a retired engineer, simply forwarded an innocuous cartoon lampooning her.They'd to pay a heavy price for their job.Police arrested them and put them behind the bar until next day when they were released on bail.Now a legal suit is pending against them.West Bengal Human Rights Commission has however made a suo motto inquiry into the matter and pronounced judgement asking the govt to initiate legal proceedings against the police officers who arrested them.Commission has also directed the govt to pay each of them Rs.50,000 as compensation.The verdict has so offended the CM that she's lambasted the Chairperson of the Commission without mentioning his name.She's alleged Commission has gone out of its way in delivering such judgement.She's also claimed now a days judgment can be purchased by money and entire judicial system is tainted with corruption.Now some cabinet ministers have openly accused the electronic media in particular of giving undue publicity to the rising incidences of crime against women and other law and order problems.West Bengal is far better than other states so far as the safety and security of women are concerned, some cabinet ministers vociferously claim.Incidences of crimes are deliberately blown out of proportions, they allege.Media should better engage themselves to change the mindset of the criminals, they advise.
It's heartening to note WBHRC has taken up the case of of Shiladitya who's tagged a Maoist by CM herself for his protest against exorbitantly high price of manures.He.s now incarcerating in jail as police framed him with non-bailable offense.What's more,the Commission can't rely on the state's investigating agency and so has decided to get the inquiry done by its own agency.Certainly,CM won't take it without reservation.Again,High Court has already admitted a PIL against CM for her sweeping comment against Judiciary calling it corrupt.Another suo motto case is in the same issue is pending for admission after submission of affidavit by media that reported her invectives against judiciary.Now if the CM entangle herself in legal battles, when will she think about the developmental activities of the state?
