Kolkata:
The top two bureaucrats of West Bengal have asked to be excused from meeting the Union Home Secretary who summoned them to New Delhi on December 14 over the law and order situation in the state with special reference to the attack on BJP president JP Nadda s convoy on Friday.
The request to be dispensed from the Monday meeting is likely to turn into the latest flashpoint between the centre and the Bengal government.
The Chief Secretary and Director General of Police sought to be excused because the convoy attack was already being examined , the state government said in a letter to Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla.
Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, condemning Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's comments after an attack on BJP chief JP Nadda's convoy, asked her to withdraw them and warned today: "Madam, please don't play with fire".
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday appeared to take the tussle with the Centre a step further as she refused to send the state s chief secretary and police chief to New Delhi. Chief Secretary Alapan Bandopadhyay and DGP Virendra were asked by the Union Home Ministry to attend a meeting called in the national capital in the wake of the mob attack on BJP president JP Nadda s convoy.
