Congress attacks Mamata Banerjee government on law and order

KOLKATA: The Congress today blamed the Trinamool Congress for the recent attack on Rejinager MLA Rabiul Islam Chowdhury in Murshidabad district.

"We condemn the brutal attack on Chowdhury who's condition is critical. The attackers belonged to the TMC. This happened a day after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited Murshidabad district," senior Pradesh Congress leader Manas Bhunia said.

He demanded the chief minister's resignation and arrest of the perpetrators.

Asked about Banerjee criticising the Centre for not giving moratorium on loans to the state government, he said how could a state be differentiated from others.

"Bengal was allowed to give its views to the 14th Finance Commission," Bhunia said.

Reacting to Congress leaders joining TMC, he blamed the chief minister saying that the trend was started by her and it was unethical.

He said some people leaving the party would have no impact on it.

Bhunia congratulated Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on the Lokpal Bill.
