Sukanta Majumdar Slams Mamata Banerjee For Refusal Over Implementing CAA

Sukanta Majumdar

Kolkata: BJP president in West Bengal Sukanta Majumdar on Wednesday slams that Mamata Banerjeeโ€™s refusal to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) means that she does not want refugees to become a part of India.

โ€œCAA has already been passed in both houses of the Parliament. Now it is upto the Central government if it will be implemented throughout the country. If you (chief minister Mamata Banerjee) is opposing it, it means that you are challenging the sovereignty of the country,โ€ BJP West Bengal president Sukanta Majumdar said in an exclusive conversation with ANI. โ€œCAA will be implemented in Bengal as well. If she does not want it, it would mean that she doesnโ€™t want refugee to become citizens (Indians),โ€ he added.

Majumdarโ€™s remarks came of CM Banerjeeโ€™s statement on November 2 in which she termed the implication of Uniform Civil Code as a setup for Gujarat polls.

โ€œWe are totally against this (UCC) and we oppose CAA; they are playing this game because of the Gujarat elections,โ€ chief minister Mamata Banerjee said while she was asked about her stand on UCC.

The decision to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been made in the Gujarat Cabinet on October 29 for which a committee will be formed under the chairmanship of retired Supreme Court/High court judge.
Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has taken a historic decision in the cabinet meeting today โ€“ of forming a committee for implementing the Uniform Civil Code in the state, stated Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi in a press conference on Saturday.

Sanghavi said, there is one criminal code for the citizens across the country but there is a difference in the civil code, which is based on religion and to change the same, it has been decided to implement a uniform civil code in the state.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel also took to Twitter and informed that an important decision has been taken today in a state cabinet meeting to form a high-level committee under the chairmanship of a retired Supreme Court/HC judge to examine the need for a Uniform Civil Code in the state and prepare a draft for this code.

While addressing a rally in Himachal Pradeshโ€™s Kangra district on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at the Congress party calling it โ€œa party of corruptionโ€.

Kangra:  While addressing a rally in Himachal Pradeshโ€™s Kangra district on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at the Congress party calling it โ€œa party of corruptionโ€.

PM Modi said, โ€œWe always witness fights within the Congress party. We saw it in Rajasthan and other areas. Congress is the guarantee of instability, corruption, and scams. Congress can never give a stable government to HP and neither do they want.โ€

Addressing the rally in Chambi village of Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh, which will go to the poll on November 12, with the results coming out on December 8, PM said, โ€œToday Himachal needs a stable and strong government. When Himachal Pradesh will have a strong government and double engine power, it will also overcome all the challenges and achieve new heights.โ€

โ€œThis time, the people of Uttarakhand also changed the old tradition and made the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win. In UP too, it has happened after 40 years when a party won again and came to the government for the second time in a row with an absolute majority. In Manipur also BJP government has come again in the power,โ€ PM said.

PM Modi began his speech by speaking in the Kangri language.
โ€œI have come here to Kangra to talk to you as I feel too good to talk to you,โ€ PM says in Kangri language.
He also praised the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. โ€œKangra is the land of โ€˜Shaktipeethsโ€™. It is a pilgrimage where Indiaโ€™s faith and spirituality are present. From Baijnath to Kathgarh, in this land, the infinite grace of Baba Bhole is always with us all,โ€ he said.

Modi talked about his governmentโ€™s Himachal-centric schemes.
โ€œThe central government started the Ujjwala scheme, and the BJP government of Himachal added more people to it by running the Grihini scheme. The central government started the Ayushman scheme, and the BJP government of Himachal added more people to the Himcare scheme. This is how the double-engine government is working,โ€ he further said.

Attacking the Congress party, PM Modi said, โ€œThe Congress government raised the age of pension to 80 years and also kept the condition of earning. The BJP government reduced the pension age to 60 years and also removed the earning condition. This benefited lakhs of senior citizens.โ€

Modi also said that the life of the Himachali people will be transformed with 5G.
โ€œThe future belongs to 5G. The youth of Himachal and the life of Himachali people will be transformed with 5G. With this, education in remote schools will also become like cities,โ€ PM said.

He congratulated the state unit of the party prepared for the manifesto for the upcoming election.
โ€œI congratulate Himachal BJP for making such a good manifesto to take a new resolution of development. 11 auspicious resolutions of Himachal BJP will take the development here to new heights,โ€ Modi said.

Urging people to re-elect the party, Modi said, โ€œWe want to create such a political tradition that we should do such work in the government that voters give us a chance again and again. Thatโ€™s why we are working for development and for the country everywhere, at every level.โ€
