"Political Vendetta At Play":Mamata Banerjee Days After Ministers' Arrest

Mamata Banerjee said that she has full faith in the country's judiciary, and was absolutely certain that justice will be served in the case.

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said "vendetta politics" was at play amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic, days after state ministers Firhad Hakim and Subrata Mukherjee, MLA Madan Mitra and former party leader Sovan Chatterjee were arrested by the CBI in connection with the probe into Narada sting operation. The Trinamool supremo also said that she has full faith in the country's judiciary, and was absolutely certain that justice will be served in the case. "I am not willing to talk about the matter as it is sub-judice. But the manner in which they have been treated is not correct. This is nothing but political vendetta at play. As a political leader, Firhad Hakim has worked hard to ease woes of people amid the COVID-19 pandemic. "He is the person who participated in the vaccine trial, without thinking about the risk associated with it," she said at the secretariat on Thursday.
