West Bengal is witnessing the steady erosion of constitutional governance and an alarming descent into a police state. When the power of the State operates without constitutional restraint, the judiciary becomes the last line of defence.
If judicial intervention does not come when fundamental rights are being undermined, what is at stake is no longer merely the liberty of individuals. It is the survival of democracy itself.

BIZARRE. “Don’t step out into the streets, I will make arrangements so you can’t step out.” The Bengal chief minister issues a warning to 3 time CM @MamataOfficial . Audacious and open threats and intimidation by those with access to state power. In a democracy, governments defeat opponents politically; they do not threaten to imprison them in their homes. Will the media cover what’s going on in Bengal?

A NEW LOW in Indian politics!
@SuvenduWB, while seated in a government office, has brazenly THREATENED me, publicly declaring that he will ensure I cannot even leave my home.
I call upon the Hon’ble President of India, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, and the people of India: Is this the India envisioned by our Constitution?
A sitting Chief Minister, sworn to uphold that very Constitution, openly threatens to curtail the freedom of the Chairperson of the principal opposition party, @AITCofficial.
The words were unambiguous: “I will ensure you cannot leave the house.”
What exactly does that mean? House arrest? Intimidation? Political persecution? Who gave you the authority to decide who gets to move freely in a constitutional democracy?
Perhaps he is confusing me with those known to bow before authoritarianism. That, I must say, is a grave misreading.
This is bigger than Mamata Banerjee. This is about the kind of India @BJP4India wants to create - where political opponents are threatened, dissent is punished, and constitutional rights become privileges granted by those in power.
INDIA IS WITNESSING A DANGEROUS AUTHORITARIAN MOMENT.
And history offers one enduring lesson: power may intimidate for a while, but arrogance eventually answers to the people.
Their arrogance is loud.
Their desperation is louder.
Their days are numbered.

Deeply saddened by the tragic fire incident in Tarapith, which has claimed several precious lives.
My deepest condolences to the bereaved families and I pray for the speedy recovery of those injured. May Maa Tara give strength and courage to all those enduring this immense loss.
I urge the state administration to act swiftly and ensure immediate relief, timely medical assistance and all necessary support to the injured and the families affected by this tragedy.
