Charge of bias against NHRC in West Bengal

The Hindu  

T he report submitted by the National Human Rights Commission on the post-election violence in West Bengal has caused a major flutter in political and social circles. “The situation in the State of West Bengal is a manifestation of ‘Law of Ruler’, instead of ‘Rule of Law’,” the report stated at the very outset. The local police has been grossly derelict, if not complicit, in this violence.” It stated that the “spatio-temporal expanse” of violent incidents reflected the “appalling apathy of the State government towards plight of victims”. Trinamool cries foul Mamata Banerjee maintained that the violence was a “pre-poll” phenomenon and took place at a time when the Election Commission was in charge of law and order. “The presence of this nexus in a border State also has larger national security implications,” the report stated.
