Are you the ambassador of Pakistan? Mamata asks PM Modi
Siliguri/IBNS: Hitting out at Narendra Modi who has accused the Opposition of criticising Parliament instead of Pakistan, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday asked the Prime Minister whether he is an "ambassador of Pakistan" due to his repeated references to the neighbouring country.
Holding an anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, rally at Siliguri in north Bengal, Mamata said, "Why do you always refer to Pakistan? Are you the ambassador of Pakistan or what? Why do you always glorify Pakistan? You must speak about India and not Pakistan. Do not compare India with Pakistan."
"Whenever one asks about job and other necessities, the Prime Minister used to term him as a Pakistani. We are Hindustanis and not Pakistanis. We respect our own country."
Speaking in favour of the CAA at a rally in Karnataka, Modi on Thursday said, "The Congress and its partners are criticising Parliament but remains mum on Pakistan. They never criticise Pakistan. They should speak against Pakistan and not our own Parliament."
In her strong words against the Centre, the Chief Minister said she will never allow CAA, National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population of Register (NRC) in the state.
"At first we thought they were doing Census. Later we realised they were doing NPR in the name of Census. We will not allow NPR in West Bengal. We all are citizens," said the TMC chief urging people to unite against the BJP in the same land which had favoured the saffron party in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
