Mamata Banerjee's Remarks Spark Controversy
News summary

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sparked a political firestorm with her comments at a Kolkata rally, warning that unrest in Bengal could spread to other states, including Assam and Odisha. She accused Prime Minister Modi of inciting violence in Bengal, stating, "If you burn Bengal, Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Delhi too shall burn!" This statement drew sharp backlash from various political figures, including Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika, who condemned Banerjee for threatening Assam, asserting that such threats would not be tolerated. Odisha CM Mohan Majhi also criticized her remarks as divisive, urging her to focus on justice for victims rather than political rhetoric. Banerjee has faced accusations of inciting unrest amid ongoing protests over a tragic rape and murder case in Kolkata, as well as alleged threats against junior doctors, which she denied. Amidst this turmoil, the BJP has demanded action from the Bengal governor against Banerjee for her controversial statements.
