Hours after Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the TMC government in West Bengal of “abetting infiltration”, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee demanded his resignation for failing to prevent terror attacks in the country.In a pointed rebuttal of the charges levelled by Shah against her government, Mamata questioned his performance as the country’s Home Minister, and said, “You must resign. You are the Home Minister of the country; you should resign.”Calling him ‘Dushasan’, the TMC supremo questioned Shah why he was blaming West Bengal all the time for infiltration when terror attacks took place in Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi.“They say there are infiltrators only in Bengal and nowhere else. If that is so, then who carried out the attacks in Pahalgam and Delhi? Did you do Pahalgam?” Banerjee asked.“Does infiltration happen only in Bengal? Doesn’t it happen in Kashmir?.. An incident took place in Delhi some days ago. Are infiltrators present nowhere except Bengal? Banerjee asked while addressing a public meeting at Barjora in Bankura district.“Today, Dushasan has come to Bengal. Whenever elections are around, Duryodhan and Dushasan arrive here,” the chief minister said, without naming anyone.On Shah’s charge that the TMC government was not making land available for border fencing work, the chief minister said, “If land was not given, who completed the Tarakeswar-Bishnupur (railway) line? Mamata Banerjee did it. If land was not given, from where would ECL lands have come for coal extraction?”Story continues below this adShe asserted that land had also been provided in border areas, saying, “Who gave land in Bongaon and Petrapole? Who gave land in Ghojadanga and Changrabandha?”The chief minister added that land had also been given for airports in Andal and Panagarh.The TMC chief asserted that the BJP would be politically rejected. “You are saying you will win with a two-thirds majority. This time you are not saying, ‘ab ki baar, 200 paar.’ I want to say, this time you should be out of the country,” she said, recalling the BJP’s poll plank in the 2021 Assembly elections.The state Assembly has 294 seats.Mamata further claimed that her party would return to power in West Bengal and take on the BJP at the national level through democratic means.Story continues below this adMeanwhile, TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, upping the ante against Shah, accused him of “doublespeak” on the infiltration issue.Referring to recent comments made by BJP MPs Ananta Maharaj and Jagannath Sarkar, the TMC leader argued that despite their remarks contradicting Shah’s statements on infiltration and border security, the party is yet to take any disciplinary action against the leaders.“Ananta Maharaj, who was elected by 50 BJP MLAs to the Rajya Sabha, said Amit Shah is the most prominent infiltrator of this country,” the TMC leader told reporters in the Kolkata airport, without elaborating.“The Ranaghat Lok Sabha MP Jagannath Sarkar said two months ago that if the BJP comes to power, borders will get obliterated and that all fences with Bangladesh will be removed. Yet the home minister is putting the responsibility of securing that border on the shoulders of Mamata Banerjee,” he said.Story continues below this adThe TMC MP from Diamond Harbour, who is considered Number 2 in the party, asked whether the BJP has taken any disciplinary action against the two for their remarks.“To the best of my knowledge, neither of the two has even been show-caused. Let Shah speak to his MPs and MLAs first and then come here and say such things,” said the Diamond Harbour MP, who is de facto number two in the TMC hierarchy.
