Warning people about communal violence in the state, she said, ‘Do not fall prey to the tactics of those who want to incite riots. Fire of riots will destroy everything. Inform local police stations and send a copy to the party HQ if you witness any untoward incident. I also belong to a Hindu family. My culture teaches me to respect all religions.’
Criticising the central government she said that since the time the new government assumed office there had been several incidents of riots in several states including Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. ‘Do you know there were communal clashes in Gujarat in September? Are they not ashamed of Babri Masjid demolition and Gujarat riots? There are also reports of communal riots in Delhi. What this government is doing?,’ she added.
Speaking on the Burdwan blast, she said that the Centre is misusing its power to incite communal violence. ‘The Central government is now misusing its power and now it is employing the CPM to destabilise the state,’ she added in the meeting.’There has not been any loss of public life in the blast. People who were making bombs were killed. Property was also not damaged. But the Centre is trying to shape it as the biggest terror plot. They are now misusing their power to malign us. Blaming one community for the fault of one person is not right. Terrorists do not have any religion, caste or creed,’ said Banerjee.
‘I love Bangladesh. That does not mean I support illegal infiltration. The state does not guard the borders. I have never said that I support infiltrators. Before elections they came here and said that they would push back all people from Bangladesh. There are Indian citizens too and they are our people. Why should I not protect them?,’ she asked.
