National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) team attacked in Bengal

A case of Post-poll violence investigation in Bengal
The team claimed that the Police was hostile and made no efforts to help them.

• The Government should now realise that the President’s rule is the only option left for Bengal where law and order has completely collapsed.
• Is it not evident from the Police not protecting the Investigation team that the Trinamool Government promotes hooliganism ?
• Will the Police which is not protecting the NHRC team from the goons ever protect the common citizens ? Such Police should be punished ?
