Mamta writes a letter to PM Modi, refuses to send Chief Secretary to Delhi, asks to reconsider the order.
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has refused to relieve the Chief Secretary of the state, Alapan Bandyopadhyay, and send him to Delhi.
Mamta has written a letter in this regard to Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the Bengal government cannot relieve its chief secretary in such difficult times.
Explain that the Center had written a letter to the state government on May 28, requesting the release of Chief Secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay.
Also, Alapan was asked to report to the Ministry of Personnel in Delhi by 10 am on May 31.
Mamta writes a letter to PM Modi: Mamta said in a letter to the PM, “The Bengal government cannot relive nor is it doing so in such a difficult time to its Chief Secretary”.
Mamta has requested the PM to withdraw this decision of the Center, reconsider and cancel the order immediately. According to sources, the Bengal government is not relieving him.
Bandyopadhyay is not going to Delhi. He will attend a meeting led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat Navanan on Monday
Issues related to the YAAS Cyclone and Corona epidemic are likely to be discussed in the meeting. The meeting will also include secretaries of various departments of the state.
Bandopadhyay’s term was extended on 24 May.
Significantly, the Center had ordered Bandyopadhyay to call Delhi a few hours after arriving late in Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s meeting with PM Modi on the cyclone YAAS.
On May 31, Bandyopadhyay was retiring from the post of Chief Secretary, but on May 24, an order was issued to extend Bandyopadhyay’s tenure for three months on the request of the state government.
Law experts had expressed apprehension.
Here, law experts had feared that it might be difficult for the Center to follow the order to summon the Chief Secretary of Bengal to Delhi on the day of his retirement.
Experts had said that the state government, exercising its rights, could refuse to discharge them.
