CM Emphasised the Need for Communal Harmony Particularly Against the Backdrop of Mothabari Violence
In her message on the occasion of Eid on Monday, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee held the two main opposition parties in the state, namely BJP and CPI-M, responsible for propagating communal tension in the state.
"Ram-Bam these days raises the question of whether I am a Hindu or not. My answer is that I am Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh at the same time, and at the end of the day, I am an Indian. What are the opposition parties doing? They are just dividing people. My life is dedicated to the country," the chief minister said while addressing a gathering at Red Road in central Kolkata on the occasion of the Eid festivities.
Miss Banerjee emphasised the need for communal harmony, particularly against the backdrop of the violence in Mothabari of Malda district, that prompted 61 arrests and suspension of internet services in the area.
