Terming the West Bengal chief minister MamataBanerjee's threats to foil the two-day strike call as "illegal", the labour arm of CPM-CITU threatened on Tuesday to file a case against chief secretary SanjoyMitra if the state government forcefully tried to stop workers from participating in the 'bandh'. "The state government is becoming more shameless with every passing day. What Mamata Banerjee is doing forcefully to foil the strike is illegal. This force and threats is totally illegal. No chief minister or state government has the right to take away the right of the workers to participate in strike," CITU state president Shyamal Chakraborty said. After warning of stern action against enforcement of the two-day general strike by Central trade unions, the CM said on Tuesday steps would be taken if shops were closed for the next two days in the state. "If the state government uses forces and threats to foil the strike then we will file a case against state chief secretary Sanjoy Mitra. Then law will take its own course. This very attitude of the state government shows that they are anti-workers," said Chakraborty.
