Paschim Medinipur (West Bengal) [India], April 17 : After filing a complaint against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the statement that she made in Coochbehar, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Agnimitra Paul slammed her and accused her of inciting Muslims in the state.
"The day before yesterday, she (Mamata Banerjee), while addressing Muslim brothers, said that those who celebrate Ramnavami try to incite riots. How daring she is! She was inciting Muslim brothers so that riots could happen and hence we came here to lodge an FIR," she said.
She stated that the duty officer said that "I wouldn't be able to lodge the FIR; after that, we blocked the roads and half an hour later, IC came and received our complaint."
Lashing out at the Bengal police administration, she said, "If you are behaving like this with an MLA, then I wonder how you might be behaving with the other people in the state."
She asserted, "Since now we have filed a report, we should emerge victorious."
Earlier in the day, Paul launched a scathing attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and said that many unnecessary rules and regulations have been imposed in the state in view of Ram Navami celebrations.
"Police are putting too much pressure on the Ram Navami Akhara procession, which is going to be taken out today...like DJ cannot be played, a certain time is scheduled and more than four vehicles cannot be taken out," Paul said.
Accusing the CM of being anti-Hindu, she said, "Timing has not been looked at during Muharram but it has been during Ram Navami and Durga Puja; we are not going to tolerate this anymore...West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee says that she is a Hindu, however, she is an anti-Hindu."
