Rape, Murder Trinamool's Khela: Smriti Irani On Bengal Post-Poll Violence

Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani remarks came after Calcutta High Court on Thursday ordered a court-monitored Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the incidents of post-poll violence in West Bengal.

Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani on Thursday slammed Mamata Banerjee-led government over post-poll violence and alleged that "rape and murder is Trinamool Congress' "khela". Her remarks came after Calcutta High Court on Thursday ordered a court-monitored Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the incidents of post-poll violence in West Bengal. The High Court also ordered setting up Special Investigation Teams (SIT) for investigation of relatively less serious crimes and senior officers from West Bengal cadre will be a part of the team. "The message from today's judgement is there will be no "khela" but only justice. Has Mamata Banerjee ever asked anyone who left Bengal to come back to the state? So many women have been raped. Did Mamata Banerjee offer them moral support or assure them of justice? So many people's homes have been looted and ransacked. Did she meet any of those families? Instead, she said nothing such happened. Today court said these things happened," the minister told ANI.
