Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, in a series of tweets on Wednesday, demanded a ‘strong investigation’ into the murder of labourers from her state in Kashmir to discover the ‘real truth’. She said that no political activities were going on in Kashmir and the law and order is the responsibility of the Central government, therefore, a ‘strong investigation’ is needed.
We, therefore, demand a strong investigation so that the real truth comes out. We are deputing Shri Sanjay Singh ADG South Bengal to find out details from them.(2/3)
