"Impose President's Rule": Caste Panel On Sandeshkhali Clashes, Rape Claim
NDTV
Mamata Banerjee has rubbished the claims, declaring "... have never allowed injustice" and has accused the BJP of inciting trouble in Sandeshkhali before the election.
The NCSC, or National Commission for Scheduled Castes, on Friday recommended President's Rule in Bengal amid violence and political tension after the BJP accused a Trinamool Congress strongman - the on-the-run Sheikh Shahjahan - and his aides of multiple counts of sexual assault in Sandeshkhali.
A delegation visited Sandeshkhali Thursday and submitted a report to President Droupadi Murmu this morning. NCSC Chairperson Arun Halder said, "Criminals in the state have joined hands with the government there (and this) is impacting the lives of members of the Scheduled Caste communities."
Mr Halder also claimed the NCSC received no help from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's government, when trying to meet the women who were allegedly assaulted by Sheikh Shahjahan.
