West Bengal Police acting like workers of ruling party: Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar

India Today  

Expressing concern over the alleged deterioration of law and order in West Bengal, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday said the state police were not functioning in accordance with the rules, and urged Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to find time and interact with him on the matter. Taking to Twitter, the governor said opposition MPs and MLAs were being targeted by the police, which "acts as workers of the ruling party". Dhankhar, who has been at loggerheads with the Trinamool Congress government on several issues since he took charge as the governor of West Bengal a year ago, said, "Public representatives and opposition party leaders are virtually being hunted out of public space by the state police. We cannot afford to have police that does not act in accordance with law but acts in a partisan manner like a political worker of the ruling party," he added.
