A week after violence shook Birbhum district, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday, 28 March, invited Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to meet him at the Raj Bhawan in order to discuss the "worsening law and order in the state."
"Recent alarmingly worrisome developments, reflecting increased lawlessness and violence, make it imperative that you spare time at the earliest for an interaction at Raj Bhavan," Dhankhar wrote in a letter Banerjee.
"Already cliff hanging governance in the state, from the perspective of Constitution and law, has recently been further strained by horrifying incidents of barbarity at Rampurhat and in the hallowed precincts of the Assembly."West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar
