Nawab Malik: BJP is misusing powers of Centre to destabilize West Bengal govt

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday posted three Indian Police Service (IPS) officers from West Bengal on central deputation for five years.

On December 10, BJP national President J.P. Nadda's convoy was attacked in South 24-Parganas district. Nadda was on his way to attend a BJP programme at Diamond Harbour, which is the parliamentary seat of Trinamool Congress MP and Mamata's nephew Abhishek Banerjee.

Soon after the incident, the Home Ministry had summoned all the three IPS officers from Bengal. The trio was responsible for Nadda's security during his visit to the district.

Maharashtra Minister & NCP leader Nawab Malik reacting over the issue said,"BJP is misusing powers of Centre to destabilise West Bengal govt. Law & Order is a state subject. Without any consent, IPS officer has been withdrawn from the state. This is very serious matter. Mamata Banerjee & Sharad Pawar have discussed this matter"

He further said,"Mr Pawar will discuss this issue with leaders of other political parties also. The meeting will be somewhere in Delhi. If necessary, Mr Pawar will definitely go to West Bengal."
