Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], July 8 (ANI): Continuing her tirade against the Centre, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday held the ‘uncooperative’ Central Government responsible for the recent Baduria and Basirhat violence which has turned the entire state into chaos.Mamata said there would demand for a judicial enquiry into the violence that occurred over a Facebook post."We will conduct a judicial enquiry on the Basirhat incident. Action will be taken for spreading fake pictures and videos. The law will take its own course," she said, while addressing a press conference here."There is ‘Fakebook’ happening in the name of Facebook. I respect Facebook but not ‘Fakebook’."“The Centre has a non-cooperative attitude; the border areas are being disturbed by foreign hands having good relations with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),” she added.Stressing on the same, she said the Centre is not cooperating even in the situation of Darjeeling.Meanwhile, the North 24 Parganas Superintendent of Police (SP) Bhaskar Mukherjee has been removed and C.
