On Operation Sindoor, Bengal CM Mamata Banerjees Pahalgam, Pulwama Question To Modi Govt

With the BJP going all gun blazing over the good fortune of ‘Operation Sindoor’, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday posed some inquiries to the Narendra Modi govt, in a counter aimed toward preventing the department of votes forward of the following 12 months’s meeting elections within the state. Speaking on a answer on Operation Sindooor within the West Bengal Assembly, CM Banerjee wondered the loss of safety preparations on the Baisaran meadows in Pahalgam of Jammu and Kashmir. 

“Why did security breaches occur? Not a single Police personnel was deployed. I demand that arrest the terrorists first…For the country’s security, there is a need to tighten BSF and other agencies…I said the Central government should be more powerful but they were a total failure,” she stated.

Banerjee additional stirred up the spectre of Pulwama as she stated, “I again raise a question about the plot of Pulwama (terrorist attack).”

However, Banerjee clarified that the TMC or Bengal govt does not fortify terrorism in any respect. “In Pahalgam, tourists lost their lives. We condemn this incident. Three people from West Bengal lost their lives…Bengal is the only state which moved a resolution on this. We are the first who are expressing appreciation for the Indian Armed Forces in combating militant and terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir,” she stated. 

However, Banerjee’s statement didn’t cross neatly with the BJP who accused the ruling birthday party in Bengal of supporting terrorists and extremists. “TMC party extends full support to terrorism and extremists…People of Mamata Banerjee’s party are turning Bengal into a valley of extremists and are protecting them..,” stated state Leader of Opposition and BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari. 

“The manner in which she spoke was anti-national, it weakens the country. The BJP MLAs gave a befitting reply…BJP raised their voice to uphold nationalism, to support the PM of the country and Indian armed forces and oppose the targeted killings of Hindus,” stated Adhikari.

Operation Sindoor used to be introduced on May 6-7 to avenge the killing of 26 vacationers in Pahalgam on April 22 through Pakistan-backed terrorists. The precision strike had resulted in a four-day-long army warfare between India and Pakistan.

Assembly elections might be held in West Bengal early subsequent 12 months the place the BJP and the ruling TMC are more likely to have a right away contest.
