Mamata Banerjee’s direct attack, reminded those who pointed fingers at Bengal of Pahalgam
News India Live, Digital Desk: It has never been easy to understand the politics and mood of West Bengal. On one hand, Amit Shah roars from Delhi that infiltration and terrorist network is increasing in Bengal, while on the other hand, Mamata Banerjee hits back with full force with her ‘Didi’ image. Recently, Home Minister Amit Shah raised some tough questions on the law and order and terrorist activities of Bengal, to which Mamata Banerjee has responded in a very bitter tone. Mamta’s attack on Amit Shah’s allegations. Actually, Home Minister Amit Shah had said during a rally or program that West Bengal is no longer safe and terrorists are spreading their network there. Enraged at this, Mamata Banerjee said, “Amit Shah blames Bengal for everything. If he claims that terrorists are taking shelter in Bengal or the network is running from here, then who will take responsibility for the attack that took place in Pahalgam (Jammu and Kashmir)? Did you yourself get that attack done?” This question of Mamta was quite sharp. He says that when there are lapses in security in Kashmir or other parts of the country, then why does the Center not understand its responsibility? Why is only Bengal targeted? The conflict of figures and claims Banerjee strengthened her point by also saying that the West Bengal Police is working hard to secure its borders and maintain law and order in the state. He accused the Center of trying to tarnish the image of Bengal through central investigative agencies and statements. Mamata Banerjee also made it clear that terrorism is a national problem and it does not suit the Center to do politics on it. Increasing bitterness in relations. As the 2026 election juncture approaches, this rhetoric will gain even more momentum. BJP constantly tries to corner Bengal on the issue of corruption and infiltration, while TMC calls it an attack on Bengal’s ‘Pride’. By dragging a sensitive issue like Pahalgam into this war of words, it is clear that now the fight has gone beyond the level of decorum. Experts say that Mamata Banerjee has now come into ‘attack’ mode instead of ‘defense’ and she knows how to respond to Delhi in her own style. The biggest question in this whole war is whether the coordination between the Center and the state on serious issues like security will be lost only to politics.
