Bengal Governor’s Gesture: Raj Bhavan Opens Doors to Support Sandeshkhali Victims

GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 24th Feb.  The Shanti Home in Raj Bhavan will provide refuge for women who have been victims.

West Bengal Governor CV Anand Bose, has taken a significant action in the wake of the Sandeshkhali violence. For the distressed women who were victims of Sandeshkhali, he has opened the doors of Raj Bhavan. In order to provide comfort to the Sandeshkhali victims, he has initiated a special scheme that involves building three houses inside the Raj Bhavan premises. These residences are known as Shanti Homes by the governor. The Governor has declared that Raj Bhavan’s doors are open to all women who are Sandeshkhali victims and are in danger. TMC MP Shishir Adhikari and his younger son Tamluk Lok Sabha MP Dibyendu have praised the governor’s action.

Adhikari Shishir commended the Governor’s choice

Suvendu Adhikari, a prominent member of the BJP, praised the governor for taking this action and said it was a very wise decision. I recall a time in Nandigram when the villagers provided similar cover in their homes to protect them from the CPIM thugs. At the same time, in a letter to the governor, Dibyendu Adhikari stated that it was unfathomable that you had taken the action of giving the women who had been harmed by Sandeshkhali a place to live on the grounds of Raj Bhavan. Along with this, the TMC MP has also asked the Governor that if you (Governor) allow me to stand on your side in support of the victimized women, then we will be grateful for it.

Himanta Biswa Sarma targeted Mamata Banerjee

Meanwhile, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has also targeted the brutality committed by Mamata Banerjee’s henchman Sheikh Shahjahan and his associates on Hindu women in Sandeshkhali. He criticized Mamata Banerjee for the misbehavior with journalists in West Bengal and said that what has happened in Sandeshkhali will lead to the downfall of Mamata Banerjee.

NHRC took suo motu cognizance

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also taken suo motu cognizance of the Sandeshkhali incident. On Wednesday, the Commission issued a statement saying that a special team of the Human Rights Commission will go to meet the Sandeshkhali victims. This team will investigate human rights violations in Sandeshkhali. Along with this, the Commission has also issued a notice to the Chief Secretary of West Bengal and DGP asking what action has been taken so far in the case of violence in Sandeshkhali and what kind of action has been taken against the criminals. The commission has ordered to file the report within four weeks.

Shahjahan, the vile perpetrator in Sandeshkhali, still roams free, evading justice for heinous crimes against women.

 The victim women had tied Rakhi to the Governor

The West Bengal Governor CV Anand Bose had recently visited Sandeshkhali, where he met the victimized women and inquired about their well-being. Some women also tied Rakhi to the Governor. At the same time, the Governor has now promised to provide justice and protect the women victims of Sandeshkhali who tied Rakhi on his wrists. After this, seeing the condition of women, the Governor decided to inaugurate Shanti Homes built inside the Raj Bhavan limits, where accommodation and free food will be provided to the victims. He also promised the victims that he will be in regular touch with everyone and he is committed to providing justice to the victims.

What is the Sandeshkhali controversy?

Sandeshkhali, a village located in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, is witnessing huge protests these days. In fact, the women of the village had recently alleged that TMC leader Shahjahan Shaikh and other TMC leaders had taken over their lands and some women had also accused TMC leaders of sexual exploitation. Women protested in Sandeshkhali regarding this. BJP workers are also protesting in Sandeshkhali. Shahjahan Sheikh is an accused in the ration scam and Shahjahan Sheikh is also an accused in the attack on the ED team recently. Whereas Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has accused BJP of doing politics on this issue.
