The Trinamool Congress leadership on August 4 directed West Bengal’s Correctional Administration Minister and ruling party MLA Akhil Giri to resign from his ministerial post and apologise to the aggrieved forest officer after a video of him verbally abusing the female officer surfaced online.

Trinamool Congress spokesperson Santanu Sen told local media persons that the party does not condone Mr. Giri’s behaviour towards the female forest officer.

“Trinamool Congress state president Subrata Bakshi has spoken to Mr. Giri over the phone and has directed him to apologise to the officer and to submit his resignation,” Mr. Sen said. “Only Trinamool Congress is capable of practising this rajdharma, no other party can do it.”
