BSF helping infiltrators enter India, idea is to destabilise Bengal: CM Mamata
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that the Indian Border Security Force is letting infiltrators from Bangladesh enter India and charged it with trying to destabilise the state.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mamata Banerjee addressing the State administrative review meeting in Kolkata said she could sense a “blueprint of the Indian government” behind this attitude of the BSF”. “We have got information that the BSF is letting infiltrators enter India through Islampur, Sitai, Chopra and several other bordering areas. The BSF is also torturing people and trying to destabilise the state,” she added
She said, “They (BSF) are trying to hold the Trinamool Congress government responsible for it. I will ask the Director General of Police to find out where these infiltrators are staying after entering the state,” she added.
The Bengal CM stated that if the BSF continues to facilitate such activities, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) would protest against them.
Banerjee remarked that the BSF, which is responsible for guarding the borders, was allowing individuals to cross into India from regions such as Islampur, Sitai, and Chopra and questioned the motives behind this and attributed it to a “blueprint” from the central government. She emphasised that the situation would not have been possible without the central government’s involvement.
“Border is guarded by the BSF but not TMC… They are sending goons. They are sending people who murder people through the border. It is an inside job of the BSF, and it is a blueprint of the Central Government. If there was not any blueprint from the Central Government, then it would not be possible,” the West Bengal CM said.
