Speaker Biman Banerjee, in fact, has called an all-party meeting at 3 pm on Friday to discuss the special session. </p> <p align="justify"> But the TMC wants the West Bengal Protection of Depositors' Interest in Financial Institution Bill to be returned by the Centre so that it could be strengthened further and hopes that the bill will be returned by this evening. Meanwhile, sources have indicated to CNN-IBN that that the Finance Ministry and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs will also brainstorm to discuss the course of action on chit fund operations. </p> <p align="justify"> This comes as the chit fund scam gets bigger with market regulator Sebi turning the heat on over a dozen other companies running similar Ponzi schemes. People are rushing to withdraw Rs 20,000 crore invested in these companies. </p> <p align="justify"> Sebi has asked the government to look into the operations of all these companies. One such company is the Rose Valley Group, which has now approached West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seeking protection. </p> <p align="justify"> Its chairman Goutam Kundu wrote to the CM on April 23 saying that the group has assets worth Rs 10,000 crore and that his depositors were not at risk. Sebi has been trying for years to shut down Rose Valley but in vain. </p> <p align="justify"> The market regulator also has its eyes on MPS Greenery Developers, but the local courts had stayed Sebi's order.

WB chit fund scam: Governor calls special Assembly session next week |
-CNN-IBN
But the TMC wants the West Bengal Protection of Depositors' Interest in Financial Institution Bill to be returned by the Centre so that it could be strengthened further and hopes that the bill will be returned by this evening. Meanwhile, sources have indicated to CNN-IBN that that the Finance Ministry and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs will also brainstorm to discuss the course of action on chit fund operations. This comes as the chit fund scam gets bigger with market regulator Sebi turning the heat on over a dozen other companies running similar Ponzi schemes. People are rushing to withdraw Rs 20,000 crore invested in these companies. Sebi has asked the government to look into the operations of all these companies. One such company is the Rose Valley Group, which has now approached West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seeking protection. Its chairman Goutam Kundu wrote to the CM on April 23 saying that the group has assets worth Rs 10,000 crore and that his depositors were not at risk. Sebi has been trying for years to shut down Rose Valley but in vain. The market regulator also has its eyes on MPS Greenery Developers, but the local courts had stayed Sebi's order. But with the spotlight now on these chit funds and the Trinamool Congress facing fire for their negligence, it is unlikely that Mamata Banerjee will bail them out. Meanwhile, Saradha group promoter Sudipta Sen and two others accused in the West Bengal chit fund scam went through the primary investigation on Thursday. The police has seized mobiles and laptops from the three accused. According to the police, six cases have been filed against Sen, out of which four have been filed by employees who did not receive their salaries. The other two cases were related to money marketing schemes of Saradha Tours and Saradha Realty. The police also said that seven directors of the company will be probed. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also registered a money laundering case against Saradha group. More big names entered the fray in the chit fund scam on Thursday. These included a West Bengal Congress MP and Finance Minister P Chidambaram's wife Nalini Chidambaram who was reportedly engaged as a senior advocate to close a Saradha deal. Manoranjana Sinh has stepped in to defend Nalini Chidambaram. In a video message on YouTube, she said Nalini advised her and her husband against accepting Saradha funds for her channel. "Mr Sudipta Sen according to me is a white collar criminal who is trying to creat a smoke screen to confuse people by taking all kinds of names and misrepresenting facts in hope that it will divert the attention from the main crime that he has committed.
