Maharashtra Minister Calls Mamata Banerjee ‘Terrorist’
A minister in Maharashtra, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, called the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, a 'terrorist' during a book launch.
The book talks about how some people might be getting fake birth certificates to live in India illegally.
The minister said this is happening in West Bengal and these people are then moving to places like Mumbai.
The Congress party criticized the minister's words and asked for more information about the people who were sent back to their countries.
The minister also talked about how Maharashtra is trying to remove illegal immigrants from the state.
Maharashtra Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha called West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee a 'terrorist' during a book launch.
The book, 'Bangladeshi Infiltrator Birth Certificate Scam', alleges large-scale irregularities in issuing birth certificates to illegal immigrants.
Lodha claimed that over 10 centers in each district bordering Bangladesh in West Bengal issue bogus birth certificates.
The Congress party criticized Lodha's remarks and demanded details of those allegedly deported.
Over 2,000 Rohingyas and Bangladeshis have been deported from Maharashtra as part of a campaign to make the state free of illegal immigrants.
