Bengal Governor Bose discharged from hospital after 23 days
Kolkata: West Bengal Governor C. V. Ananda Bose was discharged from a private hospital in Kolkata on Thursday morning after undergoing treatment there for 23 days. He was admitted to the hospital following symptoms of heart blockage on April 23. The governor's office informed that following the treatment, he recovered completely and was discharged. The health condition of the governor is stable, his office informed. "We are pleased to inform that the Honourable Governor of West Bengal, Dr C V Ananda Bose, has returned to Raj Bhavan after a brief period of medical care and rest at the hospital. We are happy to share that the Honourable Governor is now in good health and high spirits. We extend our sincere gratitude to all those who expressed their concern and conveyed their good wishes during this time. Your continued support and prayers are been highly appreciated," a statement issued by the Governor's office read. The Governor complained of uneasiness days after his return to Kolkata from the minority-dominated district of Murshidabad to review the situation there amid the communal tension and violence in several pockets of the district last month against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill. However, he also submitted a report to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs based on his findings at Murshidabad. In that report, he said the West Bengal government had failed to curb communal violence. In the report, the Governor reportedly highlighted the shortcomings in the police infrastructure in West Bengal, a shortage of manpower, and an inadequately equipped police force. In his report, the Governor pointed out that because of these lapses, the necessity of deployment of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) in a crisis like that of Murshidabad strife was often prompted. He also called for the setting up of CAPF camps in sensitive areas, especially the minority-dominated and Bangladesh-bordering Murshidabad and Malda districts. Most importantly, he had suggested that the Union Government consider the use of provisions under Article 356 (President's rule), if necessary, to maintain the law and order situation.

‘Please BJP, malign Bengal': TMC after guv's Prez rule report to MHA
Kolkata: In a report to the Union home minister, governor CV Ananda Bose has recommended imposition of Article 356 in Bengal only if "the situation deteriorates further" following the communal strife in Murshidabad , which left three people dead on April 12. Trinamool Congress immediately labelled it a "please BJP and malign Bengal report", and questioned the governor's neutrality. The governing party also stated that the situation was under control, so there was no question of "deterioration". According to sources, Bose sent his report to Union home minister Amit Shah after visiting Malda and Murshidabad on April 18-19. Raj Bhavan did not issue any formal statement on the matter. It was learnt that the governor recommended multiple measures, including President's rule. In the report, Bose called for the establishment of a statutory judicial commission of inquiry on the Murshidabad violence, as well as intervention of Centre in cases where state govt failed to take prompt and effective action.

He has provided the report due to his political assignment. He knows the situation is under control, so the word deterioration does not apply here. The governor also knows that the responsibility for the border areas lies with the ministry of home affairs, the BSF. If attackers enter from the other side or there is infiltration, it is BSF's responsibility." Ghosh added that BSF must fulfil its duties properly, and this should have found mention in the governor's report, and dubbed it a "please BJP" and "malign Bengal" report. Interestingly, BJP, which is against imposition of Article 356 in Bengal, reacted cautiously. BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Samik Bhattacharya said the time had come for intervention, although the party was, "in principle", against dislodging a democratically elected govt. "We have been warning about the law-and-order situation in the state for a long time. It seems that the governor realised it late. He is the custodian of the Constitution, and it is up to him to write what he feels is right. The custodian of the Constitution has to take a decision in a state where there is no rule of law," said Bhattacharya. He also argued that the party was against removing a govt by invoking Article 356, but the state did not care for any federal structure. Bengal Congress made it clear it was against Article 356. Pradesh Congress President Subhankar Sarkar said, "In a federal structure, a democratically elected govt should not be removed by invoking Article 356. There are many provisions in the Constitution which can be used to enforce a check and balance if the law and order situation deteriorates. But a govt should only be removed through election. The constitutional authority has to ensure that there is an ambience for free, fair and fearless polls in the state."
