WB-BJP-GHOSH

West Bengal BJP president Dilip

Ghosh Monday asked his party cadres for not to cooperate with

the police as a tit-for-tat strategy against the Trinamool

Congress (TMC) as the ruling party too has been following the

same path against central agencies.

The TMC leadership had accused BJP of using the CBI,

the ED and other central agencies to corner opposition

parties.

"What the Trinamool Congress and its leaders have been

saying against the CBI and the ED is unconstitutional. Every

time a leader of their party gets summoned, they say they

won't go. This is completely unconstitutional. Is this how you

want to protect the federal structure?" Ghosh questioned.

"We have been facing atrocities committed by the TMC.

But we have never said that we will not cooperate with the

police," he said.

But if this is the attitude of the TMC, henceforth the

BJP too will ask party cadres not to cooperate with the

police, he said.

"The police can arrest us, but we will not cooperate

with them as they are cadres of the TMC," he said.

Reacting to Ghosh's statement, senior TMC leader

Jyotipriyo Mullick said the BJP is trying to disturb peace and

stability in the state.

"These provocative statements are actually efforts to

create lawlessness in the state. But we will never allow them

to do that," Mullick said.
