WEST BENGAL Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday dared the BJP-led Centre to send her to a detention camp if it had the power to do so. Her statement came in the context of the alleged harassment and torture of Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states.

"I will speak in Bengali more and more. I dare you to send me to the detention camp," the Trinamool Congress chief said, while addressing her party supporters in Esplanade, Kolkata, after holding a protest march.

Of late, the Trinamool Congress has been up in arms against the reported harassment of Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states such as Assam, Odisha, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
