New Delhi, Oct 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Senior advocate and former Solicitor General of India Harish Salve has said that attempts are being made to create a situation in India similar to those witnessed in Nepal and Bangladesh in the name of the right to protest, claiming that external forces could be playing a role in fomenting unrest. In an interview with IANS, Salve said he believed that foreign funding was being provided for certain protest activities and alleged that some groups were attempting to prevent the government from moving forward. He also questioned the sources of funding for demonstrations.

New Delhi, May 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) Former Solicitor General of India and senior advocate Harish Salve on Tuesday said that outgoing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s refusal to formally resign after the Assembly election defeat may not precipitate a constitutional crisis as the statute has enough muscle to deal with such a situation. Talking to IANS, Salve said that the Governor has the option to not call her to continue as acting Chief Minister or advise the Union government to impose President’s Rule. In a lighter vein, he said, “I hope she is not planning to do a Capitol in Kolkata” - a reference to a similar situation that arose after US President Donald Trump refused to accept electoral defeat and exhorted his Republican supporters to storm the Capitol in Washington D.C.
