BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari moves Calcutta HC seeking permission to visit violence-hit Mothabari in Bengal
Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari moved the Calcutta High Court Tuesday after police denied him permission to visit Mothabari and to hold a protest rally at Kanthi concerning the recent communal clashes and violence at Mothabari.
Adhikari’s counsel, Mayukh Mukherjee, mentioned the matters to a bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh. Both will be heard on Thursday.
The counsel has prayed for Adhikari to be allowed to visit Mothabari along with an MLA and security personnel. Furthermore, Mukherjee submitted that police did not grant permission to Adhikari to hold a protest rally at Kanthi on Tuesday. “Yesterday night, the police cancelled the rally, even though (a new date of April 3) was provided, the police are not cooperating,” he said.
