The Trinamool Congress has written to President Droupadi Murmu alleging that the BJP has been systematically misusing the police in West Bengal.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has formally addressed President Droupadi Murmu, alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been engaging in systematic misuse of the police force in West Bengal. The letter, sent to the President’s office, details concerns that the BJP has been directing police actions to target political opponents and suppress dissent.
The TMC’s complaint comes amid growing tensions between the ruling party at the state level and the opposition. The party claims that the police, under BJP influence, have been used as a tool to intimidate and silence political adversaries.
While the letter does not specify particular incidents, it underscores a broader pattern of alleged political interference in law enforcement. The TMC has called for an independent inquiry into the matter.
No official response from the BJP or the police has been released yet, and the matter is expected to draw further scrutiny from the central government.
