Ganguly issue figures in Parliament, judge denies allegations

He said such crimes cannot be tolerated and such persons should not be allowed to occupy a high posts.  

In Kolkata, Justice Ganguly, who has made it clear that he will not step down, today refused to comment on demands in Parliament for his removal from the post of chairman of WBHRC.  

“I will not say anything about this,” Justice Ganguly said when asked for his reaction on the uproar in Parliament.  “I have denied the allegations, I have nothing more to say,” Justice Ganguly told PTI.

Apart from the BJP, Trinamool Congress has also been very vocal demanding his removal.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had chosen Justice Ganguly as the chairman of WBHRC after coming to power in 2011, has written twice to President Pranab Mukherjee seeking strong action against the former judge.
