"Shameful Bengal Citizens Taking Shelter In Other States": Governor

Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar interacted with those who had taken refuge in a camp at Agomoni area of Dhubri.

It is a matter of "shame" for West Bengal that its citizens are taking shelter in other states, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Friday while visiting the areas of Assam bordering Bengal to meet people who fled fearing violence. "Nothing can be more shameful for us than people of West Bengal taking shelter in other states," Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar told journalists. Mr Dhankhar interacted with those who had taken refuge in a camp at Agomoni area of Dhubri. "I do not understand till when will the tussle with the Governor, central forces, central government continue. I have seen that in Cooch Behar. I feel ashamed to speak to you on this. The people fear the police now, of going to the police station. The police is fearful of the ruling party karyakartas. I would not comment much as I am not in the land of West Bengal. My solidarity with Assam. I wish to convey this to the government of Assam," said the Governor.
