TMC MPs protest against Madan Mitra’s arrest by CBI in parliament

Trinamool Congress MPs have deepened their protest against the centre as they staged protests inside and outside the Parliament House on Monday against the arrest of West Bengal Transport and Sports Minister Madan Mitra in the Saradha chit fund case. Accusing the BJP government and the ‘president of the party’ over misusing the CBI, the TMC MPs stages protest with wearing black shawls and sloganing against the governing, showcasing placards at the parliament.

TMC MP Derek O’ Brien accused the centre of misusing CBI against WB government as political vendetta.

“The President of BJP is writing scripts for CBI. The agency is being used for political vendetta,” Derek O’ Brien said in Rajya Sabha.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley rubbished the allegations as saying, “There is no question of government or anybody being involved in what the CBI is doing. As far as the case is considered, it is monitered by the Supreme Court and there is no question for government to interfere.”

Since the CBI arrested Madan Mitra, a close aide of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday, the TMC lodged series of protests against the BJP, claiming it was “a conspiracy to destroy democracy in the country”.
