SC agrees to hear plea seeking President Rule in Bengal over post-poll violence, deploy armed forces

India Today  

The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a plea seeking direction to the Centre to impose President's Rule in West Bengal in view of the deteriorating law and order situation due to the post-poll violence which started on May 2, the day of assembly election results. Advocate Hari Shankar Jain -- appearing for petitioners Ranjana Agnihotri, a UP-based practicing lawyer and social worker Jitender Singh -- said that the plea is against post-poll violence in West Bengal. SITUATION IN BENGAL EXTRAORDINARY: PETITIONER The plea filed through advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain said that the PIL has been filed in extraordinary circumstances as thousands of residents of West Bengal are being "terrorized, penalised and tortured" by the workers of TMC for supporting the opposition party- Bhartiya Janta Party during the assembly polls. "The Election Commission remained a silent spectator and the provision was flagrantly violated", the plea said, adding that the Muslim population is about 30 per cent in West Bengal due to "illegal Bangladeshi migrants and Rohingia Muslims have been registered as voters without making any proper scrutiny and enquiry and in about 100 constituencies Muslims votes decide the fate of the candidates".
