He visited the Command Hospital for a routine check-up. The pain has subsided, but the doctors have advised him to rest and want to keep him under routine observation for a day," the post read. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had also visited Bose at the hospital. Meanwhile, in another development, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury criticised the reported proposal of the Governor to impose President's rule in West Bengal over the violence in Murshidabad. Chowdhury stated the rule could not be implemented "arbitrarily" and blamed the state administration for the deteriorating law and order. The West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose filed a report to the Ministry of Home Affairs over the Murshidabad violence, which reportedly says that the centre is open to implementing Article 356 (President's rule) if the state's condition further deteriorates. Speaking to ANI, Chowdhury said, "Implementation of Article 356 suddenly is not easy. We have a constitution here, as well as the judiciary. Arbitrarily, it cannot be implemented based on what the governor says. I don't know if there is a condition that the President's rule be implemented here. I understand that law and order are worsening here, and the state administration and the CM herself are responsible for it. For things to be better, this government must be removed, but not from the backdoor by implementing the president's rule." Violence erupted on April 11 in Murshidabad during a protest against the Waqf (Amendment) Act. The violence resulted in two deaths, several injuries, and property damage. Thousands of people fled their homes in search of safety. (ANI)
