Hyderabad, August 29: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said on Saturday that he has directed police to register an FIR against former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
He alleged that Banerjee violated conditions set by the Calcutta High Court during a Trinamool Congress student wing rally on Friday.
The rally was held by Trinamool Chhatra Parishad at central Kolkata.
According to Adhikari, the Calcutta High Court gave conditional permission for the rally. One key condition required organisers to keep one of two lanes free for traffic movement.
However, Adhikari alleged that both lanes were blocked during the event. Furthermore, he said the violations were clearly visible.
Additionally, Adhikari told media persons he has directed police to approach the Calcutta High Court in the matter.
He said the issue will not be taken lightly. Moreover, he said the former Chief Minister assembled crowds that blocked both lanes despite the court’s clear direction.

Furthermore, Ritabrata Banerjee, Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly and leader of the rebel TMC faction, seconded Adhikari’s allegations.
He claimed the court also set a limit on the number of participants. Moreover, he alleged that Mamata Banerjee was seen inciting followers to break barricades between the two lanes and occupy the full road.
These are his stated allegations and have not been independently verified.
Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee addressed the rally on Friday afternoon. She said the current BJP-led state government’s actions would help Trinamool Congress return to power in West Bengal.
She said ordinary BJP supporters would soon teach their own party leadership a lesson. Consequently, she expressed confidence that TMC would return to power in the state.
Additionally, at the time of this report, no reaction was available from the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC faction regarding the FIR announcement or the allegations of court order violation.
The Calcutta High Court has not issued any suo motu response to the alleged violations at the time of publication.
