The Bar Council of West Bengal earlier sent a letter to Chief Justice of India NV Ramana seeking removal of Justice Bindal. #TMC MP Sukhendu Shekhar Rai on letter written by Chairman Bar Council of West Bengal Ashok Kumar Deb to #CJI on removal of Acting Chief Justice of #CalcuttaHighCourt, responds to jibes by #BJP. | @prema_rajaramMore #ReporterDiary videos: https://t.co/FAHzdk9TO8 pic.twitter.com/Qr0H6GXOVW Just because Calcutta High Court is holding the Mamata Banerjee administration to account for the post poll violence, the CM is using Ashok Kumar Deb, TMC MLA from Budge Budge, under the garb of Bar Council to seek removal of acting Chief Justice.
