Today, TMC Serampore MP Kalyan Banerjee said that Union home secretary has no authority to summon the state chief secretary and DGP to discuss state law and order situation after the attack on BJP chief JP Nadda’s convoy.
Banerjee said the deputy secretary has written a letter to the state government asking the chief secretary and DGP to meet the Union home secretary on 14 December. He said that it is totally unconstitutional as law and order is included in the state list.
The state ministers are only answerable in the state Assembly when the Assembly is in session. He pilloried the attitude of the Centre as gross violation of federal structure and “we are strongly condemning it”. He also challenged the Union law minister to show him how the Union home secretary can summon the state CS and DGP.
