Speaking to reporters, he said he apprised the Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan of the situation even as the DGP Gautam Sawang did not respond to his phone calls.

"Police and government colluded and attacked offices at several places. These are organised attacks. I appeal to the people, we call for a state-wide bandh... Why should we hesitate to ask for implementation of Article 365… what else we need to show the failure of law and order in the state,” he said at a press conference.

The DGP is not fit for the post, he alleged.

He said there should be a through inquiry on the attacks.
