"Don't Care": Mamata Banerjee On Election Commission Notice

The notice issued on Thursday night said the West Bengal Chief Minister prima facie violated various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Model Code of Conduct

The Election Commission has issued a notice to Mamata Banerjee for her "completely false, provocative and intemperate statements" against central forces performing election duty in West Bengal, provoking a defiant Trinamool chief to declare she will continue doing so until "the CRPF stops working for BJP". The notice issued on Thursday night said the West Bengal Chief Minister prima facie violated various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Model Code of Conduct with her remarks against the central forces. The Chief Minister has been asked to respond to the notice by 11 am on Saturday. "... prima facie, completely false, provocative and intemperate statements made by Mamata Banerjee... attempts to berate and vilify Central Paramilitary Forces during electoral process are causing extreme demoralisation amongst ranks and file of these forces...," the notice said.
