Cops stand in front of Bhowanipore police station on Sunday night, after the attack on them

Kolkata: Two Bhowanipore police station sub-inspectors whose names figured in the Sunday’s vandalism inquiry report submitted yesterday, were “closed” on Wednesday — an official jargon which means they’re being removed from active duty. The sub-inspectors, however, officially didn’t get the axe for the Bhowanipore incident but for not having done much in the cases assigned to them for investigation. 
    An officer said sub-inspectors Amit Mukherjee and Prasanta Chakraborty have been “closed” for pending “case dairies”. Why this came to the notice of senior officers only two days after the Bhowanipore incident is anybody’s guess. The two officers who were attacked by the rowdies while trying to tackle them will now be posted at the divisional reserve office of DCP (South). 
    The third officer indicted in the inquiry report, the Bhowanipore OC, was given a reprieve. However, it is almost certain that he too will face action. The police station falls under the Kolkata South Lok Sabha constituency where the code of conduct for the November 30 bypoll has already come into effect. Any action against the OC now will need a permission from the EC. 
    The incident on Sunday involved two clubs reportedly patronised by chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s brothers. The clubs claiming their political connections refused to pay heed to police warnings and kept bursting banned crackers and blare music in front of a hospital. Not stopping at mere defiance they chose to attack cops and threatened to forcibly enter the police station, prompting police lathicharge. Mamata herself rushed to the police station to pacify the mob. 
    Her role which came in for severe criticism by Left Front, with Biman Bose dubbing her act as unbecoming of a CM. State BJP had already submitted a deputation to the governor on it. Governor M K Narayanan, however, defended the CM and said: “It was one of these puja clashes that sometimes take place. If the violence went on, police would have to take stronger action. She was afraid that violence may go on. So, she went there,” he told PTI in Chennai.

Sir Winston Churchill wrote 64 years ago about India :

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India ."

We are indeed an incredible NATION; we have worked very hard and we have indeed proved him right.....
