Kolkata, Aug 07:
TMC’s
West
Bengal
General
Secretary
and
spokesperson
Kunal
Ghosh
has
been
censored
by
the
party
for
14
days
for
commenting
against
sacked
WB
Minister
and
suspended
party
leader
Partha
Chatterjee.

It
comes
after
Ghosh
made
critical
comments
about
Partha
Chatterjee.
“Partha
should
realise
how
it
feels
in
jail.
As
I
have
spent
my
life
in
prison,
let
Partha
do
the
same,”
Ghosh
said.

He
has
been
critical
of
Partha
Chatterjee
from
the
day
he
was
arrested
in
connection
with
the
School
Service
Commission
scam.
He
had
also
urged
the
party
leadership
to
suspend
him.
“Partha
Chatterjee
has
brought
disgrace
to
himself
and
the
entire
state.
He
must
be
immediately
sacked.
This
incident
proves
the
level
of
corruption
in
the
TMC
and
the
state
government,”
Trinamool
Congress
spokesperson
Kunal
Ghosh
had
said
earlier.

SSC
recruitment
scam:
Partha
Chatterjee,
Arpita
Mukherjee
sent
to
14-day
judicial
custody

As
per
the
reports,
the
party
leadership
felt
that
Kunal
Ghosh
went
overboard
while
expressing
his
views
about
Partha
Chatterjee.

Chatterjee
and
his
close
associate
Arpita
Mukherjee
were
arrested
by
the
Enforcement
Directorate
in
connection
with
its
investigation
into
the
alleged
teacher
recruitment
irregularities
at
government-sponsored
and
-aided
schools.
He
was
the
education
minister
when
the
alleged
school
jobs
scam
took
place.

The
ED’s
money-laundering
case
stems
from
an
FIR
by
the
CBI,
which
was
first
directed
by
the
Calcutta
High
Court
to
investigate
the
alleged
scam
in
the
recruitment
of
Group
‘C’ and
‘D’
staff,
assistant
teachers
of
classes
11
and
11
and
primary
teachers.
