Uttar Pradesh minister Anand Swaroop Shukla on Sunday alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was engaged on the instructions of “Islamic terrorists” in Bangladesh, and labelled her the “biggest threat for the country”.
The minister of state for parliamentary affairs advised reporters in Ballia district that Banerjee doesn’t imagine in “Bharatiyata [Indianness]” and must search refuge in Bangladesh following the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections.
“She has no faith in Indianness and she is working on the directions of Bangladeshi Islamic terrorists. Giving citizenship to Rohingya Muslims, Bangladeshi Muslims, insulting Hindu deities, demolishing temples and not letting people celebrate our festivals is what she is doing,” Shukla alleged.
He went on so as to add, “Mamata Banerjee has become the biggest threat for the country today. She will have to take refuge in Bangladesh after being defeated badly in the Assembly polls.”
The minister couldn’t be contacted for his response to the allegations he levelled towards the Trinamool Congress chief. Last 12 months, he had claimed that Abul Kalam Azad, India’s first training minister, had no place for India and Indianness in his coronary heart.
