GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 30th April. A group of 10 advocates from “Lawyers for Justice” along with the sufferers of the West Bengal post-poll violence on Friday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah to request for their demand for President’s Rule in the state.
“We had a detailed discussion with the Home Minister that lasted for about 45 minutes. He listened to the victims’ problems and assured them to look into the issue. We have been continuously demanding President’s Rule,” said Kabir Bose of the ‘Lawyer for Justice’.
The delegation included Supreme Court lawyer Monika Arora and other lawyers. A rally was also taken out by the “Lawyer for Justice” with all the victims.
Prior to the meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah, the delegation of advocates also met President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday and requested for the imposition of President’s Rule, claiming a “complete breakdown of law and order in the state”.
“Today we (BJP leaders) along with lawyers from Supreme Court, Delhi High Court and district court met the President and demanded imposition of Article 356 due to the complete breakdown of law and order in the state. Incidents of rapes, murders, burning, looting and violence are now regular. So, there is a need for the intervention of the Central government by imposing President’s Rule,” said one of the lawyers who was part of the group.
