Strong action will be taken: WB Guv

Kolkata, Nov 15: Asserting that violence is influencing politics in the state, West Bengal Governor Dr CV Ananda Bose on Wednesday said strong action would be taken against those involved in the killing of a local Trinamool Congress leader in Joynagar of South 24 Parganas district and lynching of an accused in the incident.
The governor stated that the culture of violence in Bengal should stop and the law would take its course.
“Law will take its course. We will certainly take strong action against it and Raj Bhavan will also be doing its duty. Strict action should be taken against violence. It requires not only legal action but also social measures. Violence is influencing the politics of Bengal. This culture of violence must stop,” Bose said on the sidelines of a programme at the Raj Bhavan here. He asserted that arson, looting and killings have been “prevalent” in Bengal and said strong action would be taken to end the existing culture of violence. (PTI)
