JHARGRAM: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday stated tribals in ethnic strife-hit Manipur are dealing with a disaster and there’s none to take heed to their plight.
Paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi on the anniversary of the Quit India motion, the chief minister stated, “We pledge to make BJP quit Delhi.”
Banerjee, who’s on a three-day administrative tour of Jhargram, blamed the BJP-led central authorities for failing to deal with the scenario within the northeastern state and urged individuals throughout the globe to hope for them.
“The tribals in Manipur are facing a crisis. There is none to listen to their plight. Dalits are tortured in India and the Centre is unmoved, unfazed. They have no right to be in power as they have tortured Dalits. People are being killed in encounters. They are planning to break the country into pieces through planned communal riots,” Banerjee stated.
She was talking at an administrative programme in Jhargram, principally inhabited by tribals, to have fun the ‘International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples’.
“We had told the British to quit India. Today, we want the BJP-led government at the Centre to quit Delhi. On Quit India Day, let us pledge today to teach BJP a lesson after their betrayal as the Central government. Removing the BJP from the Centre is my only goal for the welfare of the people,” she stated.
In an obvious reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s utilizing Mahatma Gandhi’s ‘Quit India’ slogan and attacking the opposition bloc INDIA, Banerjee stated, “We don’t need to quit.We belong to this country.”
The Trinamool Congress supremo criticised the PM, claiming he did not fulfil the guarantees he had made to the individuals of the nation earlier than the elections.
Denouncing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Banerjee stated, “There are various castes and practices among different communities and religions. Suddenly, they (the BJP) have started talking about the need to introduce UCC. Why should someone follow their set of rules while getting married? We won’t accept the UCC,” she stated.
People ought to have the liberty to look at their customs and non secular practices based on their needs, Banerjee careworn.
The TMC chief accused the CPI(M), Congress and the BJP of getting an ‘understanding’ in West Bengal.
“It is extremely unfortunate that on the national front, CPI(M)-Congress are with INDIA but it seems they are with the BJP here. If they continue this, our fight in Bengal will be against CPI(M) and Congress, along with our fight against BJP,” she stated.
