The Kolkata Police has also initiated suo moto cases at Entally, Bhowanipore and Posta police stations for organising processions with arms against the organisers of the programmes.

Mr Ghosh said, “Law should be the same for every individual. The chairman of Kharagpur municipality was also present with me. So if I get arrested then I hope he too will have the same fate. If not, then will he be suspended from the party?”
