Agartala (Tripura): Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb accusing him of mocking the judiciary. Banerjee posted a video of Deb in which he was heard directing the civil servants not to fear the "contempt of court" as the police come under his control. "
"@BjpBiplab is a DISGRACE to the entire nation! He shamelessly mocks Democracy, MOCKS the Hon'ble JUDICIARY and seemingly gets away with it! Will the SUPREME COURT take cognizance of his comments that reflect such grave disrespect?", he wrote on his official Twitter handle.
In the video, Deb had been seen directing the officials not to implement the government orders without any fear. "I have come across many officials who respond to orders saying sir this may be tantamount to contempt of court. How many contempt of court has happened to date and who are the people who have been jailed for contempt of Court. It's not that easy, I am sitting here. I would have gone to jail in the first place", he said.
"To send to Jail, you need police and police is the prerogative of the Chief Minister", Deb further said.
