[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee found herself on a collision course with the centre after a huge showdown on Sunday evening between the state police and officials of the CBI or Central Bureau of Investigation.

The CBI officials, who had come to question Kolkata police Chief Rajeev Kumar on two Ponzi schemes, were temporarily detained by the police.

The CBI officials who had approached the Supreme Court over the issue has been directed to bring the material on record to support its claim that Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar is trying to destroy evidence in the chit fund scams.

Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi said: “If Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar even remotely thinks of destroying evidence, bring the material before this Court. We will come down so heavily on him that he will regret.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the CBI’s plea seeking directions to Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar to cooperate with the investigation in Saradha chit fund case. The court will hear the matter tomorrow.

The state’s BJP lawmaker Babul Supriyo had earlier tweeted: “President’s Rule should be imposed on West Bengal to control this ‘Rogue’ #TMchhi Govt under a corrupt CM Mamata Banerjee. This is a constitutional crisis ‘created’ by Mamata to shield her corrupt & tainted accomplices (sic)”.

On Sunday evening, Mamata Banerjee sat on a dharna after the CBI tried to quiz Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar in connection with Saradha and Rose Valley Chit Fund scams.

Earlier on Sunday, Banerjee had arrived at Kumar’s house around 7 PM. Soon, top police officers, including all the divisional DCs, ADG, Law and Order, Anuj Sharma, DGP Virender rushed and conducted a high level meeting.

“Whatever happened today is worse than emergency. It was no less than a coup. CBI is harassing in gabbar style (a reference to iconic bandit in the movie, Sholay),” she said.

The Bengal CM alleged that NSA chief Ajit Doval was “giving instructions” to CBI and PM Modi to take action against TMC leaders and policemen.

“There are companies (chit fund) that are sponsored by PM Modi, Assam CM and BJP MP Babul Supriyo. Why they are roaming freely? Why haven’t they been arrested? I will stick to my stand that Kolkata police commissioner is one of best officers in the world. Modi doesn’t deserve to be a prime minister. Let them prove that Rajeev Kumar was involved in chit fund scam,” Mamata said.

Rajeev Kumar – who headed a Special Investigation Team probing the Saradha and Rose Valley Ponzi scams of 2013 – was asked to help the investigation after several documents allegedly went missing. He has received several summons for questioning.  This time, a section of media reported that he could be arrested for evading questioning and was “absconding”. The Kolkata Police said they would take action for the defamatory reports.

The Trinamool Congress chief further said that it was her duty to protect her officers. “CBI came to Rajeev Kumar’s house without a search warrant. How audacious it was? They are playing with the Constitution. I will not tolerate this,” she said.

The anti-BJP party is supporting the Mamata Banerjee-led government, Congress President Rahul Gandhi said that the entire opposition will stand together and “defeat the fascist forces”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]While, CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury has slammed both Modi and Banerjee over the issue.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Rahul Gandhi wouldn’t need to fear disqualification if he had not done this

Observers had been upbeat on the Congress’s chances despite the “Aayega Modi hi” slogan and potential allies talking of a non-Congress, non-BJP alliance.

Rahul Gandhi and Manmohan Singh

Rahul Gandhi is finding himself in the eye of the news cycle storm after a Gujarat court convicted him of defamation for his 2019 remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rahul Gandhi faces up to 2 years in jail for taking the Prime Minister’s name along with IPL founder Lalit Modi and fugitive businessman Nirav Modi and wondering if all Modis are thieves. The complaint against Gandhi was filed by BJP leader Purnesh Ishvarbhai Modi at Adajan police station in Surat district.

While convicting Gandhi, Chief Judicial Magistrate HH Varma granted him bail for 30 days for him to file his appeal, which would be in a higher court.

It is a coincidence that if Rahul Gandhi had not ripped up a Manmohan Singh government ordinance to protect legislators (MPs/MLAs/MLCs) convicted of criminal offences from disqualification, he could have escaped this Surat court judgment unscathed. But since the ordinance was withdrawn by the Manmohan Singh government, a legal protection that could have saved him and others can be looked upon wistfully.

The United Progressive Alliance-II regime had been at the receiving end of Opposition assaults over perceived corruption scams including 2G, coalgate and the railway cases, implicating ministers of allies Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Rashtriya Janata Dal among others.

The general perception of those years was that the allies were responsible for the falling goodwill of the Congress minority government. Though multiple parties including the Aam Aadmi Party went on the offensive, the biggest gainer from the hit on the Congress was the BJP.

Possibly, the UPA bigwigs could read among the tea leaves what lay ahead of them. Rahul Gandhi’s trashing other ordinance happened in the first few weeks of September 2013 when then PM Singh was away in the United States. The highlight of the next week was Narendra Modi being chosen as the BJP’s PM candidate above veteran leader LK Advani. What happened hence is well-known.

The Rahul Gandhi-led march, the Bharat Jodo Yatra, had won some eyeballs at the man’s ability to pull off the march with relative elan. Following the Hindenburg Research report on Adani, the Congress had shown some verve and fight in a marked departure from the grand old party dismissal.

A remark from spokesperson Pawan Khera on Modi saw Delhi Police armed police haul him off a flight at Delhi airport in connection with three FIRs against Khera, one in Assam and two in Uttar Pradesh.

Observers had been upbeat on the Congress’s chances despite the “Aayega Modi hi” slogan and potential allies talking of a non-Congress, non-BJP alliance. The Surat court decision could spark greater opposition coherence since Arvind Kejriwal himself came out in support of Gandhi.

Pathak also informed that 2 other men have also been arrested in the case and two printing press firms were given an order for making 50,000 more anti-modi posters. It was also reported that the workers of the company also pasted posters from late Sunday night to Monday morning.
