West Bengal CM Orders Police Action Over Derogatory Remarks on Netaji
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has directed police to take strict action, including arrests, against individuals making derogatory remarks about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on social media. This follows controversial comments by BJP MP Nagendranath Roy, who called Netaji a "war criminal" and questioned his leadership. Adhikari emphasized that the law applies equally to all, regardless of political status, and urged offenders to delete posts and apologize. Police will independently decide on legal proceedings amid calls for preserving Netaji's image.
