Kolkata:West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday expressed dismay as Chief Secretary HK Dwivedi "did not acknowledge" his letter that sought details of the committee formed by the state government to probe the alleged phone tapping using Pegasus software, stating that it was indicative of a "grave governance situation".
Dhankhar called upon Dwivedi to make the notification vide which the state government constituted a two-member commission of inquiry available to him by Thursday evening.
"It is unfortunate and a matter of serious concern that there has been not even an acknowledgment of the same much less a response. This is indicative of a grave governance situation that is ex facie not in accord with the 'constitutional norms' and 'rule of law'," the governor wrote in a letter to the chief secretary, a copy of which he shared on Twitter.
Dhankhar said that he had reminded Dwivedi of it when he called on him on December 11.
"A final opportunity is afforded to the Chief Secretary to make available the notification and all connected proceedings in this behalf resulting in issuance of the notification, latest by tomorrow by 5 pm," he added.
