Kolkata, May 05, 2023 (PPI-OT):The Chief Minister of Indian state West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, has said that different teams from New Delhi are coming to West Bengal to spread communal and caste violence in the state. Mamata Banerjee addressing an administrative review meeting in Malda said attempts are on to trigger violence at places like Kaliachak, Kaliaganj and Gazole.
A 25-member team from New Delhi is visiting these places and holding meetings. Besides fueling communal violence, they are also trying to create tension among the people belonging to different castes, she pointed out. “Some of them are also offering money to the minority youth for indulging in nefarious activities. People do not want riots, only some immoral political leaders prefer riots,” she added.
She also expressed doubts over the role of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) in the recent killing of Rajbanshi youth Mrityunjay Burman (33) near the India-Bangladesh border adjacent to Kaliaganj in North Dinajpur district.
While the opposition BJP has claimed that Burman was killed in police firing, Banerjee hinted at foul play in the matter. “What I heard is that the village where the youth was killed is totally under the control of BSF personnel, which can now operate up to 50 km within the international border. Who fired the bullet? From where was it fired? All that needs to be investigated,” Banerjee said.
