Siliguri: Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi the ambassador of Pakistan and said that instead of talking about India, he talks about Pakistan every time.
On Friday speaking at an anti-CAA rally in North Bengal, Mamata Banerjee said, “Why do you always compare India with Pakistan? You should rather speak of Hindustan. We don’t want to become Pakistan. We love our country. PM Modi talks of Pakistan all day as if he is the ambassador of Pakistan.”
“If someone says give me a job and I have no work, PM Modi says go to Pakistan. If someone says we don’t have any industries, he says go to Pakistan. Pakistan ka charcha Pakistan kare, hum Hindustan ka charcha karenga, yeh humaari janmabhoomi hai (Pakistan can talk about themselves as much as they want, we should talk about Hindustan, this is our motherland),” said Mamata Banerjee, attacking PM Modi.
Banerjee also asked, “India a huge country with a rich culture and heritage; why do you regularly compare our nation with Pakistan?”
While addressing the rally in Siliguri, Mamata Banerjee also vowed to continue with the agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act. She said the agitation will continue until the controversial law is repealed.
“They only know how to divide the country on the basis of religion. But my religion is to defend the freedom of people. This is our second freedom struggle, always remember this, to save India from religious bigotry,” Banerjee said.
Mamata Banerjee also added, “It’s a shame that even after 70 years of Independence, we have to prove our citizenship.”
She also accused the BJP of “deliberately” creating confusion over the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), saying its leaders have been making contradictory statements on the issue.
“On one hand the prime minister Narendra Modi is saying there will be no NRC but on the other, the union home minister Amit Shah and other ministers are claiming that the exercise will be conducted across India,” Mamata Banerjee added.
