West Bengal Governor's TV Interview is Immature, Unconstitutional, Condemnable-Former LG of Delhi

Bengal Governor's NDTV interview is "immature, improper, unconstitutional and condemnable": former Lt. Governor of Delhi, Najeeb Jung, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
...........................................
In an interview where he is outspokenly critical of the Governor of Bengal, Ananda Bose, the former Lt. Governor of Delhi has said Mr. Bose’s live interview last night to NDTV about the present crisis in Bengal was “highly improper”, adding it was “immature”, “unconstitutional” and “condemnable”. Najeeb Jung said it was “a failure of judgement” and that Mr. Bose “should never have been on TV”.
Mr. Jung said that after this interview the Chief Minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, would be “entirely within her rights” if she demands the immediate recall of the Bengal Governor.
In a 20-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Najeeb Jung, who is also a former Vice Chancellor of Jamia Millia Islamia, was talking about a live interview that the Governor of Bengal gave NDTV at around 8.40 p.m. yesterday (16/8).
In the interview, the Governor often sounded like a critic of the elected government of Bengal and certainly did not sound supportive of it. The Governor claimed that there is growing fear in Bengal, violence everywhere and democracy has become mobocracy. At one point, the Governor said the Bengal of today is not the Bengal of Rabindranath Tagore.
Mr. Jung was asked if all of this sounded as if the Bengal Governor was criticizing Mamata Banerjee and her government and also running down the State of Bengal. Mr. Jung was asked if the Governor sounded as if he was presenting himself as a separate and alternative authority to the state government.
In his interview, the Bengal Governor claimed he had given “instructions” to the state government. Mr. Jung said that the Governor does not have the authority or the power to give instructions. He can advise and warn in private but he does not have the power to give instructions.
I shall stop here. You must see the Najeeb Jung interview and hear his powerful criticism of the Bengal Governor yourself.
As far as I know - and I think I am correct - Mr. Jung is so far the only former Governor (Lt. Governor) to openly, publicly and sharply criticize the Bengal Governor for the interview he gave last night.

[@renukabhattacharya8008]

I greatly respect and value the program 'the interview' of Mr. Karan Thapar. I listen most of the interviews with rapt attention. He has covered almost all the important events of India as well as abroad. But, unfortunately, I'm yet to listen an interview which deals squarely with what happened at the R.G. Kar Hospital on the fateful early morning of 9th August, 2024. Now, in this interview, again unfortunately, Mr. Thapar is seemingly siding with the Bengal Government. And I can understand from where it is stemming. It is stemming from an utterly wrong notion that Trinamool Congress (TMC) is a force against BJP. BUT THIS IS UTTERLY WRONG. TMC is NOT AT ALL AGAINST BJP. TMC is clearly Pro-BJP/RSS. TMC broke away from Congress and formed the party with the support of RSS/BJP. And this support is continuing. The WIRE cannot cite just one example of TMC's serious and consequential opposition of BJP and the BJP ruled Union Government. Please do not consider TMC's electoral battle against BJP as an example. TMC and BJP tried hard and are successful in dividing the entire political space of West Bengal between themselves and relegating the Left and the Congress as the Third force. I urge the WIRE to recognize TMC and reassess TMC and place this party at its rightful place. The TMC government and their officials in the health department are squarely responsible for the heinous crime committed at the R.G. Kar Hospital. The incidents thereafter spoke volumes about the complicity of the TMC government in the crime. I urge Mr. Thapar to conduct an interview to expose Mamata Banerjee and the TMC government thoroughly in this issue.

[@agnescraig2912]

Agree with your comment. Yes TMC is in line with BJP/RSS especially when it comes to Religion outdoing each other during Pujas/Yatras to temples. Biggest COVERUP of Ms. Banerjee was to promote this alleged criminal instead of accepting his grudging delayed resignation. No if and buts.

After becoming the Governor, Mr Bose first tried to chart a course quite different from his predecessor. During that period the relationship between the Chief Minister and the Raj Bhawan was quite different from what it was during the times of his predecessor who is today the Vice President. There was a sudden change in course on his part, which indicated a push from Delhi to not be so friendly with the CM, which upset the equation between the Governor and the Chief Minister but not to the extent of the two going for each other's throats. But the 2024 elections, Sandeshkhali incident, charges against the Governor of impropriety on his part with the lady staff of Raj Bhavan, and the attitude of the Chief Minister to the Governor have taken the Governor to bay for the head of the Chief Minister. The rape and murder incident in RG Kar Medical College, the apparent linkages of the Principal of the college to the TMC, Mamata's mishandling of the issue, and her being badly cornered have given occasion to Governor Bose to take revenge on Mamata. Mr Bose was never the right candidate to become Governor and was possibly appointed Governor on his name BOSE to present him as another Bose to Bengal that Modi tried to use for votes. He comes before the Nation as, sorry for using a strong word, a FOOL!

Why should we people pay from our taxes for their unconstitutional actions? The SC should come down heavily on those who flout and violate the constitution no matter how high a person is. This is a serious menace to the country and has to be dealt with iron hand. Rather I would add that it is the failure on the part of the SC to assert its authority in upholding the constitution which has led to the erosion of democratic values. It is not the Executive nor the Judiciary suffer but the people and the constitution. How can we hope for peace and prosperity in this kind of dispensation?

Had he not been a Governor and not bound by protocols, what he said were absolutely correct. He spoke the minds of most people- whether it is the question of inept, callous governance of Mamata Banerji or degradation of Bengal under her rule..election results alone do not justify her position. One point needs to be appreciated. The present case of the young doctor is more horrendous than Nirbhaya case. In Nirbhaya case, the hapless girl was violated, tortured and killed by a few rogues..here, the entire process was orchestrated with the knowledge of the top management of the institution and the state govt was trying to accommodate such management. They misinformed the family, tried to buy them out, picked up only one perpetrator, damaged the place by PWD and again by allowing goons to vandalize it, which was under guard of police for hours, ostensibly to wipe out the evidence of crime..So please appreciate the gravity of this gruesome act with cover up by Admin..these are the matters of High Court arguments and not figment of imagination..Yes Governor Bose is useless as he has proved himself again and again, but the issues are too stark to put under the carpet, to help Mamata Banerjee's political fight with the BJP.

Sorry Mr Thapar, I expected you to focus on the shameful incident in Bengal and not on trivialities like this. Agree that the Governor was out of line but in the wake of the horrific crime that has happened in West Bengal, this is a rather pedantic issue to focus on

Governor bose speaks of Tahore's Bengal as if he has been born n live at that period of time..

When the state s Administration led by super arrogant CM..Governor has no choice..

[@stanchill6174]

Sau chuhey khaake billi hajj ko nikli. This Jung guy was in most hostile and confrontational behaviour against Kejriwal government in his tenure as LG acting like Modi govt stooge. He was overstepping his position and constantly harassing Kejriwal and not allowing to function as per its mandate, all at the behest of a vengeful modi & shah. He should be ashamed. Jung's holier-than-thou talk now about role of governor is like devil reciting scriptures.

Maybe time has come to abolish the post of Governor 🤔

This is very disappointing from Karan Thapar. Instead of condemning the horror of what happened at RG Kar hospital, he chooses to focus on the Governor as he has criticized the state which wants to hush up the case as suicide. Shame on you Karan! You can hate Modi and the BJP as much as you like, but stop acting like a stooge of the opposition at the same time. FYI, even the left and right wings have united in Bengal against this - Have some character, Karan! And to those who are not living in Bengal, you have no idea of the police administration acting there - it has completely failed and are merely Mamata's pets. The CP went early in the morning to wipe out evidence and protect the influential criminal. He was the same CID head for which Kamduni rape case never got justice. At this point, we have every right and need to request partial 356 (the provisions of taking the police administration away from the state government) - and that is both a legal and the humane thing to do for the Governor. You call trying to save the people and women from police-aided rape "unconstitutional"? Stop spreading propaganda!

It really doesn't matter, Bose only talks but never acts

The circumstances in India are reminiscent of Srilanka and Bangladesh

Karan Thapar lacks all credibility. Just as rotten politicians are not needed,rotten journalists like Karan Thapar are not needed either.
