A fresh row has erupted after TMC MP Mahua Moitra was heard saying that if Union Home Amit Shah is not able to protect country from the infiltrators, then he should be “beheaded and his head should be put on a table”.

West Bengal BJP shared the video and said, “When Mahua talks of beheading the Home Minister, it exposes TMC’s frustration and the violent culture that is tarnishing Bengal’s image and dragging the state behind.”

In the video, Mahua is heard speaking in Bengali, “I am asking if there is no one to protect our borders and people from other nations are entering India in lakhs and crores…If they are eyeing our mothers and sisters…If they are taking over our land…Then first, Amit Shah’s head must be chopped off and put on the table.”

The BJP has taken a strong objection of the remark stating the statement is a proof of how TMC is not letting Bengal develop with its violent mindset.

‘Disgusting and Disgraceful’

BJP’s national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari called the comments “disgusting and disgraceful”. “That line from Mahua Moitra is beyond politics, it is pure hate speech, drenched in venom,” he said.

“Her level has stooped this low under able guidance by Mamata Banerjee’s TMC!” Bhandari added.

In the video, Mahua said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his independence day speech spoke that infiltration is changing the demography of country, if the Home Minister and the Home Ministry cannot protect the Indian borders and the Prime Minister himself is saying that people are coming from outside and eyeing our mothers and sisters, snatching our lands, then whose fault is this?” she said.

Calling out the Border Security Forces (BSF), Mahua said they fear the paramilitary personnel. “It is our and your fault. Here is the BSF, we also live in fear of them. Bangladesh is our friend, but because of you, this situation has changed over the past several years,” she was quoted as saying by Moneycontrol.

PM Modi, his mother abused at Bihar rally

The incident comes a day after a person used cuss words against PM Modi and his late mother. The man was taking part in the opposition’s ‘vote adhikar’ rally, when he abused the Prime Minister and used foul language against his mother from the stage.

The BJP has taken a legal action and an FIR was registered against the person. The saffron party has now asked Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders to apologise.
