The ongoing standoff between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Centre over alleged “misuse” of the CBI Rajeev Kumar in Kolkata progressed in today’s budget session in Parliament. The CBI has accused Rajeev Kumar of being a “potential accused” in the Saradha and Rose Valley Ponzi schemes — cases he investigated — and said it was possible that he might have tried to destroy evidences.
The standoff commenced today in Lok Sabha. The proceedings were disrupted twice today as Trinamool Congress members engaged in sloganeering against the government over the debate between the CBI and the Kolkata Police. The House was adjourned till 2 PM even as papers were laid and members raised various issues during the Zero Hour, which went on till around 12.30 PM. Earlier, the Question Hour was washed out and the proceedings were adjourned till noon.
