State’s affidavit in HC refutes panel’s charges
The West Bengal government, in an affidavit submitted in the Calcutta High Court, has refuted the allegations made by the committee of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on post poll violence in the State as “sweeping homilies, absurd, and false”. The panel formation and the purported field teams were fraught with bias against the State’s ruling dispensation, it stated. “I state that the members of the Committee have close association with the Bhartiya Janta Party and/or the Central Government. I state that such members have been deliberately chosen who have an inherent bias against the ruling dispensation and accordingly predisposed to give a negative report against the state about law-and-order situation in the State of West Bengal,” the affidavit said.
