The Trinamool Congress today criticised the Delhi Police for failing to arrest those who had heckled West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and manhandled Finance Minister Amit Mitra at Yojna Bhavan on Tuesday.
"The Delhi Police are yet to arrest the SFI offenders who are roaming freely in public two days after our Chief Minister was heckled and Finance Minister badly assaulted in Delhi," Trinamool Congress leader and state Commerce Minister Partha Chatterjee said here.
"It is highly condemnable that the Chief Minister and the Finance Minister were heckled and assaulted by those opposed to the development of the state," he said.
It was surprising that despite FIRs there was no arrest, Chatterjee said, adding that the Delhi administration could not shirk its responsibility and the party would continue to demand arrest and punishment of errant SFI members.
Asked about CPI(M) offices being attacked and ransacked in the state as a fallout, the minister said such incidents were condemnable.
The Trinamool leader, however, denied his party's involvement in the ransacking of Baker Laboratory at the Presidency University and said that the perpetrators would be booked soon.
"A conspiracy has been hatched to spread canards against the Trinamool Congress-run government," he claimed.
