Mamata Banerjee Says Won't Let Rioters Go Scot-Free, Alleges BJP Maligning Lord Ram's Name

West Bengal: Clashes were reported in Hooghly and Howrah districts during Ram Navami process🀅ions over the last few days.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday asserted that she would not let rioter⛄s go scot-free a🐬nd strict action will be taken against them.

Addressing a rally in Purba Medinipur district, Banerjee alleged that the BJP was maligning the name of Lord Ram by organising violenc𝐆e during Ra⛦m Navami processions.

Clashes were reported in ♌Hooghly and Howrah dis😼tricts during Ram Navami processions over the last few days.

"The BJP is behind the violence in🐭 Hooghly and Howrah. They had brought in hired 'goondas' from other states to unleash violence in Bengal, which is not in our culture. They are defaming the Hindu religion by pitting one community against another. But rioters have no religion, they are just political goons. I appeal to everyone to maintain calm," she said.

Taking a dig at Union Hom🉐e Minister Amit Shah, without naming him, she said, "The BJP said if the party comes to power in Bihar, it would hang rioters upside down. Then why are they not doing that to their goondas who are fomenting trouble in Bengal? Charity begins at home."

Shah haꦏd made the remark during a recent public rally in Nawada di꧂strict of Bihar, which has also witnessed communal clashes during Ram Navami.

ꦇTaking p🔯otshots at the CPI(M), she alleged that 'Baam' (Left) and 'Ram' (BJP) have joined hands against the TMC.
