Calcutta High Court on Thursday slammed the Bengal government as it continued hearing petitions filed on the Sandeshkhali violence. Calling the case "extremely shameful", the court pulled up the ruling Trinamool Congress-led government, saying it is their "100% responsibility" if the "safety of a citizen is under threat".

"What has happened in Sandeshkhali is extremely shameful. The entire district administration and the ruling dispensation owe moral responsibility for what has happened in Sandeshkhali. 100% responsibility lies with the ruling party if the safety of a citizen is under threat; the government is responsible," the High Court said.
