Mamata Banerjee's 'Save the Constitution' protest: This is what netizens say about her Dharna

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was trolled after she extended her support to Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar when CBI officers went to question him over two Ponzi scams.

Rajeev Kumar led a Special Investigation Team to probe the scams and the CBI officials wanted to quiz him with regard to missing files. The CBI team went to his residence at Loudon Street in Kolkata on Sunday. They were not only denied permission, but also detained and whisked to the police station.

Later, Mamata Banerjee sat on a dharna to protest against CBI's attempt. She took to Twitter to describe this act like the worst political vendetta by top BJP leadership.

The West Bengal Chief Minister tweeted, "The highest levels of the BJP leadership are doing the worst kind of political vendetta. Not only are political parties their targets, they are misusing power to take control of the police and destroy all institutions. We condemn this."

Mamata Banerjee said that Rajeev Kumar is the best police officer in the world. She added, "The Kolkata Police Commissioner is among the best in the world. His integrity, bravery and honesty are unquestioned. He is working 24x7 and was on leave for only one day recently. When you spread lies, the lies will always remain lies."

However, Mamata Banerjee's Twitter comments received mixed reactions from netizens, but a maximum of them condemned the Chief Minister saying that she is the one, who is disrespecting the Constitution. They asked her if he is clean, why can't he face the CBI team? Here are some of their comments.

If he's undoubtedly the honest then why he's skipping CBI enquiries. He should appear and clear all doubts.

If he really brave, if he innocent, if he don't telling lies then why he fears to face CBI?

You, your state, and the officials under you who are ruling that state, are still a part of the Union of India and governed by Indian laws. You can create a truckload of diversions with your graceless, shrill drama, but you can't rewrite the laws of the Union.

If he is clean then why has he been dodging Investigation? Who are you to decide if he is innocent or not? And shame on you for man handling and humiliating federal officers #MamataBlocksCBI

Rajarshi‏ @Rajo1801

if there has been no wrongdoing, what are you afraid of? Let #CBI work uninterrupted.

Sushil Patni‏ @patnisushil

If it's coming from you @MamataOfficial , it means full are the chances of its being a "LIE". You counted qualities of the officer, if he is so good then why not just go ahead of investigation which is Progressing as per #IndianCourt? Your behavior says it all. #ChorMachayeShor

Diptangshu‏ @DiptangshuSarka
