N Biren Singh demanded that the West Bengal CM immediately stop inciting violence and hatred with divisive politics
After Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has also strongly criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her controversial statement that “if Bengal burns, the rest of India, including Assam and the Northeast, will burn too”.
Vehemently condemning Mamata Banerjee’s inflammatory speech, N. Biren Singh demanded that the West Bengal CM immediately stop inciting violence and hatred with divisive politics.
Chief Minister N. Biren Singh stated that it is highly unbecoming of a political leader to issue threats of violence on a public platform.
“How dare Didi threaten the Northeast? I condemn such irresponsible remarks in the strongest terms. She must publicly apologize to the Northeast and the rest of the nation,” N. Biren Singh wrote on his social media handle, X.
“Mamata Banerjee must immediately stop inciting violence and hatred with divisive politics. It is highly unbecoming of a political leader to issue threats of violence on a public platform,” he added.
It may be mentioned that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sparked controversy on Wednesday with her inflammatory statement.
Amid rising tension and protests over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Banerjee, while speaking at a public event marking the foundation day of the Trinamool Congress’s student wing, cautioned that the unrest in Bengal could have far-reaching consequences beyond the state.
In a remark aimed at Prime Minister Modi, the West Bengal Chief Minister accused the BJP of trying to fuel unrest in the state.
