On Wednesday, Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee alleged against the political parties and said, "I am ashamed to call out the names of the political parties who are involved in spreading hatred among the communities and attacking everybody. They are behaving as if only they are Indians while the others are Pakistanis."
The BJP had been accused by the CM of spoiling the constitutional position. She said, "We want India should be united. We are fighting to unite India not to divide India. It is the BJP who do not want. And they are spoiling the constitutional position."
In the wake of terror attack in Pulwama which killed 40 soldiers of CRPF, Banerjee announced ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh to each for the two CRPF soldier, Bablu Santra and Sudip Biswas from West Bengal.
Banerjee also said, "In Kolkata only one incident happened and we have taken strong action against the culprit. We have provided all the security. All Kashmiris said that they are happy to stay in Kolkata as it is the safe place."
