Moreover, Haldar mentioned that a report on violence-hit Sandeshkali has been submitted to President Droupadi Murmu and the President's rule is likely to be imposed in West Bengal. He further disclosed that the people of Sandeshkali are terrified to speak as they are threatened by TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh's gang. Haldar also stated that Article 338 of the Indian Constitution is being violated with the support of the state government as Scheduled castes and tribes are not secure in Sandeshkali.
