West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday spared a controversy by alleging that the central forces of letting Bangladeshi terrorists cross over into Bengal to destabilise the state, reported India Today.
She also alleged that the BSF, which guards the Bangladesh border, was allowing infiltration into Bengal and also torturing women.
She said, as India Today quoted, “The BSF is allowing infiltration from different areas into Bengal and torturing women. The TMC is not guarding the borders. The border is not in our hands, so if someone accuses the TMC of permitting infiltration, I will point out that it is the BSF’s responsibility.”
Her remarks arrived during an administrative meeting weeks after Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that “infiltration from Bangladesh” was disrupting peace in Bengal.
According to details, India and Bangladesh share a 4,096-kilometre border.
