"Mamata Banerjee is in support of terror spreaders" says BJP's Agnimitra Paul
Paschim Medinipur: After the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) recovered arms and ammunition from Sandeshkhali, Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Medinipur, Agnimitra Paul asked, "Was the state police sleeping till now? adding that CM Mamata Banerjee is in support of terror spreaders in the state.
"Mamata Banerjee is the police minister, what her police personnel was doing? sleeping? Today we came to know why ED and CBI were not permitted to enter in Sandeshkhali. They were thinking that they would spread terrorism by using these arms and ammunition. The people of West Bengal will give a befitting reply on June 4," she said.
She also added that TMC should be banned like the Popular Front of India (PFI) as it is a militant organisation.
"Mamta Banerjee is in support of all the terror spreaders, thieves and cheating people. Today we are ashamed that West Bengal produces terrorists. Our leader has rightly said that the TMC party should be banned like PFI has been banned because it is a militant organization that promotes terrorism," Paul said.
Earlier, speaking to media persons on Saturday, Dilip Ghosh, the BJP's Lok Sabha nominee from the Purba Bardhaman constituency, said the people would rise against the TMC if it tried to hold on to power despite the state falling to the free-run of 'terrorists' and 'goons'.
This comes as CBI conducted searches at two premises in Sandeshkhali, in connection with the case related to violence against Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials, and recovered a large number of arms and ammunition including foreign-made postal and revolvers.
The searches were conducted in Sandeshkhali and the North 24 Parganas district.
The team recovered: Three foreign-made revolvers, one Indian revolver, one Colt official police revolver, one foreign-made pistol, one country-made pistol, 120 09 mm bullets, 50 .45 calibre cartridges, 120 09 mm calibre cartridges, 50 .380 cartridges and eight .32 cartridges, the agency stated.
