KOLKATA: Hours after the SC hearing of a plea that West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had filed challenging the legality of the SIR exercise, LoP Suvendu Adhikari alleged CM Mamata Banerjee's name did not figure in the SC order available online.
Suvendu in an X post said, “Today’s order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the much media hyped SIR hearing is now available online. The order depicts that the cases were heard briefly and adjourned. In fact, in the solemn order, the name of Madam Mamata Banerjee does not also find a place as a person arguing the case.”
“The court records depict an opposite picture than what has been painted in her publicity stunt before the media,” Suvendu stated on X post, citing the copy of the SC order.
“We have briefly heard Shri Shyam Divan and Shri Gopal Sankaranarayanan, learned senior counsel on behalf of the petitioners: as well as Shri Rakesh Dwivedi and Shri Dama Seshadri Naidu, learned senior counsel, representing the Election Commission of India & the Chief Electoral Officer, West Bengal,” the order had stated as shared by Suvendu on his X account.
