After reports of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) considering stripping off medals of the five top West Bengal police officials for participating in Mamata Banerjee’s sit in started doing the rounds, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has struck back at the Centre on Friday, 8 February, at a press conference in Kolkata.
Banerjee said that the Bengal government would award the highest state honours to the five officers if their medals were taken away.
