Kolkata/IBNS: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP and general secretary Abhishek Banerjee has called the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) summons to him in connection with the West Bengal teacher recruitment scam a "grave state of affairs".

Abhishek responded to the summons in a tweet citing the Supreme Court's stay on the Calcutta High Court order asking the CBI and ED to also question the TMC MP in connection with the scam.

Slamming the summons, Abhishek tweeted, "In its desperation to ‘harass’ and ‘target’ me, BJP EXPOSES CBI & ED to CONTEMPT OF COURT!

"SC stayed the Calcutta HC’s order in the morn that granted permission to the Central Agencies to summon me. Yet, the ‘SUMMON’ was HAND-DELIVERED today at 1:45 pm. Grave State of affairs!"

Abhishek has been asked to appear before the CBI office at Nizam Palace at 11 am on Tuesday.

As per news reports, the TMP MP is likely to move the court challenging the summons.

Former West Bengal education minister and TMC leader Partha Chatterjee was last year arrested in connection with the job scam after a huge cash worth Rs. 50 crore was recovered from his aide Arpita Mukherjee's residences.
