On the protests and arson during the BJP’s Bengal bandh in the rape-murder case of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday accused PM Narendra Modi of setting the state on fire. She said that if Bengal catches fire, it will spread from Assam to Delhi and the PM’s chair will fall. In response to this, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma targeted her and said, how dare you scare Assam? At the same time, Union Minister and West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar has written a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah regarding Mamata’s statement. In this, he said that such a statement cannot be given by a person sitting on a constitutional post. This is the voice of anti-nationals. Read Mamata’s full statement and Himanta’s reply to it…
Mamata had said in a rally in Kolkata that some people think that this is Bangladesh. I love Bangladesh. They talk like us and our culture is also the same, but remember that Bangladesh is a different country and India is a different country. Modi Babu is using his party in the Kolkata rape-murder case to set Bengal on fire. If you burn Bengal, Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi will also burn. We will topple your chair. Regarding this statement of Mamata, Sarma said in a post on X that Didi, how dare you threaten Assam? Do not show us red eyes. Do not even try to burn India with your politics of failure. It does not suit you to speak divisive language. Assam minister said – As long as there is a BJP government in the state, Mamata cannot do anything Assam Water Resources Minister Piyush Hazarika said that Mamata can neither threaten us nor try to intimidate us. She is not able to control the law and order in her state and is threatening us. I can assure you that this will not work in Assam. He further said that I want to request Mamata Banerjee that she is a very senior leader and has been the Chief Minister for a long time, she should know how to speak in public. I seriously condemn her statement. I can assure you that as long as there is a BJP government in Assam and Himanta Biswa Sarma is the Chief Minister, Mamata cannot do anything in Assam.

Sukant wrote in the letter to Amit Shah that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made a statement inciting the crowd while addressing the student wing of TMC in Kolkata today. She said that ‘I never wanted revenge, but now, do what you have to do.’ This statement of Mamata is a clear support to the politics of revenge from the highest post of the state. She has shamelessly made an anti-national statement, in which she said that ‘Remember, if Bengal burns, Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Delhi will also burn.’ This cannot be the voice of a person sitting on a constitutional post, it is the voice of an anti-national. Her statement is clearly an attempt to intimidate, incite violence and spread hatred among the people. Now she does not deserve to remain in such an important post. She should resign immediately. It is the fundamental duty of every public servant, especially one in high office, to promote peace and prevent the escalation of any kind of violence. Mamata’s views are worrying and undermine the security of the citizens of West Bengal and the integrity of the state. I humbly request you to take cognizance of this serious matter and take appropriate action to address the situation and maintain the rule of law. I look forward to your immediate and decisive action to protect the interests of the citizens of West Bengal and uphold the constitutional values of our nation.
