Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday claimed “moral victory” over the Supreme Court order and called off her 70-hour “satyagraha” in the evening in the presence of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu. She also announced a “Save-India, Save-Constitution” dharna in Delhi after a meeting of opposition parties on February 13 and 14.
Mamata had started the dharna at Metro Channel on Sunday evening — terming it an apolitical “satyagraha” — demanding an end to the “misuse” of central agencies by the Modi government. That followed a visit by CBI officers to the residence of Kolkata Police commissioner Rajeev Kumar “for questioning” him. The CM had immediately thrown her weight behind Kumar.
On Tuesday, Mamata claimed “moral victory” saying the SC had stopped the CBI from taking any “coercive step” against Kumar.
“This dharna is a victory for the Constitution and democracy; so, let us end it today,” Mamata said.
Accusing the Centre of misusing the central agency, she said: “All political opponents are being harassed... Tomorrow they will say arrest Mamata Banerjee because she wears hawai chappals.” The CM remarked that it was good that Kumar has been asked to appear for the CBI probe in Shillong. “Good,” she said. “He works round the year. This will give him two days of relaxation.”
END OF DEBATE? The Bengal CM said the dharna was a victory for the Constitution and democracy
