Says only BJP can tackle the issue of infiltration.

- SUPROTIM MUKHERJEE

Union Home Minister Amit Shah today accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of misleading the people of Bengal over the issue of Citizen Amendment Act and said Banerjee was laying out a “red carpet to welcome infiltrators and Rohingyas in Bengal”. He claimed that only the Bharatiya Janata Party would be able to tackle the issue of infiltration.

Addressing his first electoral rally in Bengal in Balurghat in Dakshin Dinajpur district after the announcement of the Lok Sabha election 2024 dates, Shah said that the Trinamool Congress supremo did not want the infiltration issue to be solved because “infiltrators are her true vote bank.”

“We have passed a CAA law in the country. Mamata Didi Bengal ke logon ko gumrah kar rahi hain (Mamata Didi is misleading the people). She is saying that if you apply then you will lose your citizenship. But Mamata Didi you don’t know that these people do not have citizenship. Today, I have come here to tell all refugees not to be scared to apply for citizenship under CAA as no case or proceedings will take place against anyone who applies. This is the Modi Government’s law and no one can oppose this,” Shah said.
