BREAKING | WB Governor CV Ananda Bose Approaches Calcutta High Court Alleging Defamation By CM Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has approached the Calcutta High Court with a suit of defamation against WB Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The plea comes in the aftermath of the Chief Minister allegedly making comments against the Governor stating that she had been informed by women that they did not feel safe visiting the Raj Bhavan due to recent allegations of sexual harassment against the governor by a former Raj Bhavan employee.

"Women have informed me that they do not feel safe in going to the Raj Bhavan due to recent incidents reported there," the Chief Minister had said.

In response, the Governor reportedly stated that those holding high offices such as the Chief Minister should refrain from making "erroneous and slanderous" comments.

He had subsequently stated that he would approach the Calcutta High Court against the CM for making comments which had defamed him.
