Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of indulging in appeasement politics and favouritism through the Waqf Act. “Is something wrong with the Waqf
Act? Should the land of Bengal be sacrificed because of Waqf? Who is Mamata Banerjee favouring by opposing the Waqf Act? Mamata Banerjee may oppose the Waqf till 2026 because after that she
will not be the CM anymore,” he said, while addressing the BJP Workers Special Organisational Meeting in Kolkata on Sunday. Advertisement Referring to the recent violence in Murshidabad, he
called it a deliberate failure of state law enforcement and accused Bengal ministers of actively supporting the rioters. “…There was violence in Murshidabad. The Home Ministry insisted on
calling the BSF, but they did not… Our party workers went to the HC, and after the court order, the BSF came and protected the Hindus,” he said. Advertisement “Mamata Banerjee’s minister
abused the BSF, and your leaders were standing there and encouraging the rioters. The ministers of the Bengal government were involved in these riots. This was a state-sponsored riot which
caused injustice to the Hindus… Mamata Didi has crossed all limits of Muslim appeasement,” the minister added. The home minister also accused the Mamata Banerjee’s regime of fostering
lawlessness, corruption, and religious appeasement in West Bengal. The chief minister has turned the State into “a land of infiltration and atrocities on women”. Asserting that the BJP will
form a government in 2026, he said, “For years, Bengal was ruled by communists. After that, Mamata Banerjee came by with the slogan ‘Maa, Maati, Maanush’. She converted the great land of
Bengal into a land of infiltration, atrocities on women, crime, bomb blasts and immorality with Hindus…” “Hundreds of BJP workers were killed in West Bengal after Mamata Banerjee became the
CM… Didi, listen to me, your time is over now. The BJP will form the government in 2026…” he said. “We have to form the BJP government in West Bengal, have to stop infiltration, stop
corruption, stop Hindu exodus,” he said, alleging that the state government had denied land for fencing India’s international border with Bangladesh, accusing the Chief Minister of
obstructing central efforts to curb infiltration in the state. “Mamata Banerjee has opened the nation’s borders for Bangladeshis. She is allowing infiltration. Mamata Banerjee cannot stop
infiltration; only a Lotus government can do that. We have asked her for land to create the fence. She is not providing land at the borders, so that infiltration continues, and her vote bank
keeps increasing, and your nephew becomes the CM after you. But this is not going to happen,” he said. “CM has also played with the emotions of crores of women in the country. The sisters
and mothers of West Bengal should teach Mamata Banerjee the value of Sindoor in the upcoming elections,” the minister said. “Mamata Banerjee may favour the Pakistani terrorists as much as
she wants, but I want to tell her that this is PM Modi’s government and Operation Sindoor is not yet over. Anyone who dares anything will be given a proper answer,” added Shah. Advertisement
