Trinamool Congress (TMC) general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday took potshots at the BJP governments at the Centre and in West Bengal, saying there were two-three investigation agencies earlier and now it is five and he cannot be "blackmailed into cowering down".
"Let them do whatever they want. They can do whatever they want. Understand it this way, earlier it was just ED, CBI and now it is Bengal Police and Kolkata Police too, along with KMC (Kolkata Municipal Corporation). There were 2-3 investigation agencies earlier and now it is 5," Banerjee told reporters. "They think they will send 5-6 agencies after me and blackmail me into cowering down. I am not a person like that. Even if you slit my throat or do anything you want, you will have to think 10 times and take 7 births to make me cower down. I am not a traitor," he added. The TMC leader was responding to a question about the FIR against him. "They had to serve me a notice and I had to receive it in person. So, they were waiting here. They had gone somewhere else mistakenly; they didn't know where I lived. So, through you, I said that if someone wants to serve me a notice, I am here," he said. CID served a notice to TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, summoning him to CID West Bengal Office Bhabani Bhawan (West Bengal police headquarters), at 12 noon on June 1. (ANI)
