Maa, Maati, Manush no longer safe in Bengal: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday launched a blistering attack on the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government, accusing it of “providing shelter to infiltrators”, institutionalising corruption and deliberately obstructing border security measures for electoral gains. Addressing a BJP workers’ meeting at Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas, Shah also asserted that the TMC government was “certain to go” in the upcoming assembly elections. He said formation of a BJP government in West Bengal was crucial not just for the state, but for national security as well. "In the state of Mamata Didi's government, which came to power with the slogan "Ma, Mati, Manush," today all three--Ma, Mati, and Manush--are unsafe. Maa is insecure; there is no solid guarantee for women's safety. Manush is troubled by Mamata's syndicate, and Mati has been swallowed by infiltrators," Amit Shah said.

"This year marks the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram... PM Modi's government has decided to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram nationwide... But look at the irony. When Vande Mataram, which originated in Bengal and was composed by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, was discussed in Parliament, Mamata Banerjee's MPs opposed the discussion... Can the land of Bengal tolerate this opposition to Vande Mataram?... We have to take this message to every single person in Bengal, to every voter, to every citizen, that Mamata Banerjee and the TMC are opposing Vande Mataram for the sake of vote bank politics and to appease infiltrators," .said Amit Shah.
