Salboni (West Bengal), Apr 21 (PTI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of seeking to “protect infiltrators” and alleged that her “associate” Humayun Kabir wants to build a Babri Masjid in West Bengal, which the BJP would not allow.
Addressing an election rally at Salboni in Paschim Medinipur district, he said the West Bengal assembly polls this time were about “freeing Bengal from infiltrators” and corruption.
“Mamata Didi wants to protect the infiltrators, but we will remove them,” he said.
Stepping up his attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress, Shah referred to suspended TMC MLA and Aam Janata Unnayan Party founder Humayun Kabir and accused him of trying to rake up the Babri Masjid issue in the state.
“Modi ji built the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. It came up at a place where Babri Masjid stood. Now, Mamata Didi, through her associate Humayun Kabir, wants to build a Babri Masjid in Bengal,” he said. “Bengal is in India, and we will not allow anyone to build a Babri Masjid in Bengal.” The senior BJP leader also promised that a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) would be implemented in the state if his party came to power.
“We will bring the Uniform Civil Code in Bengal. Some people marry four times. Should that be stopped or not? No one will be able to marry four times,” Shah told the gathering. PTI PNT NSD
