Alleging that the assault on Kalyani University officials was a result of factional feud of the ruling Trinamool Congress, Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Surya Kanta Mishra today sought Governor K N Tripathi's intervention to resolve the issue.
"Going by the reports in the media, I don't think that the problem (at Kalyani University) has been solved. What has happened is quite an unfortunate incident," Mishra told reporters here.
"And it is very unfortunate that the Education Minister (Partha Chatterjee) held a meeting with those who are involved in the incident... He knows there are two factions of his party. While one faction of the TMC wants to reign supreme at the university, the other one was assaulted," the CPI(M) Politburo member said.
To nab those involved in the assault of the officials, the CPI(M) leader suggested to take reference of reports and video clippings of the incident in the media.
"What we require is detailed reports and video replays from the media to identify those involved in the incident and punish them irrespective of their political identities," he said.
"Governor Tripathi, who is also the Chancellor of the University, should take steps to solve the situation," he added.
