MAJDIA/BIRBHUM: On Friday, India’s Home Minister Amit Shah alleged that the Trinamool Congress represented “tushtikaran (appeasement), mafia and corruption” while criticizing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over “keep silent” sandeshkari question. Shah, in his speeches at consecutive rallies held at Ranaghat and Birbhum Lok Sabha Constituencies, said that Sandeshkhali women were “violated by their religion” and BJP would not spare any evildoers since they shall be locked up.
Shah also accused Banerjee of “misleading” people on the citizenship amendment act and attacked TMC Exemptions to state corruption matters.
“TMC stands for ‘tushtikaran’ (appeasement), mafia and corruption. Mamata ji, you welcome infiltrators with a red carpet as they are your vote bank. But, you are against citizenship for Hindus, Sikhs… …the people are fleeing to give you proper reply,” the home minister added.
“The chief minister became Mamata Banerjee by raising the slogan maa mati manush. But soon this slogan transformed into mulana madrasa mafia,” he noted.
Regarding allegations of sexual abuses by TMC leaders during Sandeshkhali incident in North 24 Parganas district, Shah said it was a matter of shame that “Mamata Banerjee despite being woman chief minister tried to shield these culprits”.
“In Sandeshkari, TMC leaders tortured hundreds of our sisters on religious grounds. Not ready to arrest the offenders is Mamata Didi Even after High Court order there was no investigation; court handed it over To CBI,” a senior BJP leader told.
“If someone commits atrocities in Sandeshkari even if he goes underground will we find him out and throw him in jail? BJP will punish the culprits,” he added.
Sandesh Khali’s atrocities “continued for many years under the nose of Mamata Banerjee and her party leaders continued to oppress and exploit women in the riverine region,” Shah said.
“But appeasement politics failed Mamata Banerjee to nab Sandesh Khali as the culprit. She let it persist for several years due to her vote bank,” claimed Home Minister.
These were his remarks when TMC on Thursday issued several videos purportedly of Sandeshkhali women alleging that local saffron party leaders made them sign blank sheets of paper, which were later filled with allegations of sexual assault against their own men.
Shah speaking to a large crowd of Matua people in Ranaghat Lok Sabha seat criticized Banerjee for opposing CAA while holding rallies supporting infiltrators.
“Why is she against refugees getting citizenship? She supports infiltration into Bengal but is against citizenship for Hindu refugees. She holds rallies against CAA and supports infiltrators” he said.
“No one has the power to bring changes in CAA. We will give citizenship to every refugee this is Narendra Modi’s promise” Shah stated.
Banerjee recently declared that if the Indian opposition group (TMC is part of national level) comes into power, it shall repeal the CAA by bringing new laws in Parliament.
At last month, there was an implementation of 2019 Citizenship (Amendment) Act by Centre Government notifying rules four years after parliament passed a law on providing undocumented immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who have come earlier until now. Muslim immigrants are given quick citizenship.
Only the BJP can bring to an end the “corrupt reign” of the TMC in West Bengal through a comment Shah made, slamming it for corruption.
“The Minister responsible for providing employment opportunities to the poor has been found with Rs 51 crore. The minister does not own this money but all West Bengal inhabitants,” said Shah with reference to arrest of Partha Chatterjee Chatterjee relating to school employment scam.
He also added “Mamata Didi abused CBI and ED for conducting raids in the state. It was not us who asked them to conduct raids and investigations as directed by court.”
