Today's Highlighted Video Story: West Bengal (India) Governor Jagdeep Dhankar has alleged political violence, vendetta, victimisation and killings are rising in the state. "Can you imagine if the opposition has no space at all?" Mr Dhankar told NDTV, hitting out at the Mamata Banerjee government. Defending his tweets against the state government, Mr Dhankar said, "It is part of my oath to serve the people of state of West Bengal. When I see that political work is being done by public servants, they are doing it in a manner which shames Indian democracy. Surely, you will expect me to raise a concern."
