When one listens to the chat with Gov Dhankar, it gives a sordid picture of how executive can treat a constitutional authority in this shoddy insulting manner. He is almost rendered helpless and inactive by the executive action. I am sure this must be the pattern in WB in earlier days as well. While there is little one can do legally for this mistreatment, people of Bengal should wake up and change the behavior of their executive. I am not sure if Governors meet similar fate in other states as well. If this is so, then we ought to revisit the role of this institution and if found redundant, we should abolish this office.
It must be said that the manner in which Shekhar and the his colleague were asking personal questions to Gov Dhankar was demeaning and not in consonance with the dignity of the office of Governor.

Yes, an appropriate comment. Till we have the constitutional provision to have a Governor in a state, we must maintain the dignity of the holder of that post. As far as Shekhar Gupta’s questioning the Governor is concerned the “demeaning” questioning has helped in presenting the case of the governor in the right earnest and perspectives.
