TMC plans resolution in assembly against 'misuse' of central agencies

Kolkata: The ruling Trinamool Congress is planning to move a resolution in the upcoming session of the West Bengal assembly over the alleged "misuse" of central investigation agencies for "political vendetta".

The extended Monsoon Session of the assembly will begin on September 14 and is likely to continue till September 22.

"There have been discussions about bringing a resolution in the session but nothing has been finalised yet. It will be decided within the next few days, and the proposal will be placed before the Business Advisory Committee at its meeting next week," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay told PTI.

According to sources in the TMC legislative party, a resolution is being planned against the "misuse" of the central agencies as a "political tool" for vendetta.

"Not only in West Bengal, but the BJP also misuses the CBI and ED in all opposition-ruled states. The agencies have turned a blind eye to the corruption charges against the BJP leaders," a senior TMC MLA said.

The BJP said it will oppose any such resolutions in the House.
