Time for Mamata Govt to "follow constitutional norms, rule of law and protect human values" : Governor

Kolkata, Nov 26 (UNI) It's time for the Mamata Banerjee Government to "follow constitutional norms, rule of law and protect human values and rights of the people", asserted
West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday.
Stating that public servants must be torch bearers of the Constitution rather than be in political stance, the Governor said adherence to Constitution is quintessential to survival of democracy.
Calling upon all to take a pledge to observe fundamental duties for the progress of the nation, Mr Dhankhar tweeted on the occasion of Constitution Day, "Greetings on #ConstitutionDay ~ A day to remind ourselves on the ideals of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity that are the essence of India's democratic spirit."
Earlier, Mr Dhankhar questioned the Mamata Banerjee Government how it could shield Gyanwant Singh from an enquiry even after judicial finding of his act as "unconstitutional and invasive of right to life without authority of law".
Taking to his twitter handle, Mr Dhankhar said, "High Court Single Bench judgment dtd 14.8.08 returned finding that Gyanwant Singh, IPS, the then Police Dy Commissioner(HQ)
@MamataOfficial 'invaded right to life without authority of law' while discharging duty as public servants & judicially declared his act 'unconstitutional'.”
" Supreme Court in its judgment dated March 01,2011 held: 'Any action against the officers of the State Police Department, as suggested by the learned single Judge, shall be in accordance with law and service conditions applicable to them and after affording opportunity to them', " added the Governor.
" How can @MamataOfficial shield Gyanwant Singh @WBPolice from an enquiry even after judicial finding of his act unconstitutional & invasive of right to life without authority of law and pronounced him ‘guilty of exceeding police powers & thereby acted ultra vires Constitution’? " Mr Dhankhar asked.
Mr Dhankhar on Wednesday rued that "in flagrant breach of public duty
Kolkata and State Police are in political overdrive" to take on political rivals of regime, saying, "Such actions of the Mamata Banerjee Government distanced from constitution & law."
Reacting to yesterday's State Home Department tweet, Mr Dhankhar said, "Tweet @HomeBengal
is indicative of lawlessness in governance. What a shame-Governor as per it is ‘some quarters’. "
"For over year CM & CS have not responded to issue of enquiry against Gyanwant IPS, " he stated.
"Urgent response of CS ⁦
@MamataOfficial
⁩ sought over this. There is silence of CS & DGP on role #SSAPurkayastha #RinaMitra !" Mr Dhankhar said.
" Unfortunate that in flagrant breach of public duty police
@KolkataPolice @WBPolice
are in political overdrive to take on political rivals of regime," the Governor added.
"Such actions @MamataOfficial distanced from constitution & law," he quipped.
