Op IndiaOn Tuesday, the Union government filed a contempt case against the West Bengal government for hindering CISF security deployed at Kolkata’s state-run RG Kar Hospital in line with the Supreme Court’s order. Notably, Union government has moved the Supreme Court against the Mamata Banerjee government accusing them of not cooperating, and not providing logistical support to the CISF security team. The Centre government further submitted that “the inaction of the West Bengal government”, despite repeated requests, reflects a systemic problem where non-cooperation with central agencies operating under court orders has become the norm. In their submission, the Centre government also accused Mamata Banerjee’s government of intentionally “creating obstacles and jeopardising the solution-oriented approach initiated by the Supreme Court”.
