Leader of Opposition in West Bengal assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Friday moved Calcutta High Court seeking a direction to the state government to allow him to visit unrest-hit Sandeshkhali after being prevented by police from going there for the second time on Thursday.
Adhikari also prayed for deployment of CRPF for confidence building of villagers in Sandeshkhali area, which is witnessing protests over allegations of sexual atrocities on women by some people owing allegiance to the ruling Trinamool Congress.
The prayer was mentioned before the court of Justice Kaushik Chanda, who is likely to take up the matter for hearing on Monday, Adhikari’s advocate Rajdeep Majumdar said.
Adhikari, a BJP MLA from Nandigram, prayed for direction to the state government for allowing him to visit Sandeshkhali to meet the alleged victims.
He was prevented by police on Monday and Thursday from going to Sandeshkhali.
