Allegations of sexual harassment against West Bengal’s Governor, CV Ananda Bose, by a staff member of Raj Bhavan have sparked a heated dispute. The Governor’s claim of immunity under Article 361 is being debated, drawing parallels to past cases. The Supreme Court has upheld absolute immunity for Governors, even in cases of personal misconduct. Such immunity was recognized in a 2017 case involving Kalyan Singh, and historical resignations have occurred amidst similar allegations.
Today (15th March): Madras High Court approves PM Modi’s Coimbatore rally despite initial police denial. The court directed Tamil Nadu Police to permit the 4 km roadshow with certain conditions. PM Modi’s visit aims to strengthen BJP’s position in the state, whereas the ruling party, AIADMK, remains independent, signaling a strained relationship with the BJP.
