The tussle between Mamata Banerjee government and Centre over attack on BJP President JP Nadda’s convoy escalated further on Friday with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) summoning chief secretary and police chief of the state to discuss West Bengal’s law and order situation.
The two were summoned on the basis of a report West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar sent to the Centre on Friday morning about the law and order situation in the state. Sources said the chief secretary and the DGP of West Bengal have been asked to be present at North Block in Delhi for a meeting on state’s law and order situation on Monday.
Dhankhar was asked to submit a report after Nadda’s convoy was attacked on Thursday when he was travelling to Diamond Harbour in South 24 Parganas district to address a rally there.
The home ministry is yet to receive a report from the state government on the ‘serious security lapses’ during Nadda’s two-day visit to the state.
