New Delhi [India], September 5 (ANI): Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for using “unparliamentary language” in the Assembly.
Speaking to ANI on Thursday, Gajendra Shekhawat criticised the Trinamool Congress (TMC) over the suspension of Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, from the Assembly.
He said, “Today, the entire country witnessed the scenes in the West Bengal Assembly, which have hurt all those who have faith in the country’s democracy. In this three-day assembly session, the Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, was suspended from the assembly yesterday without any reason.”
The Union Minister called Mamata Banerjee’s language an example of the “murder of democracy”.
“When the Chief Minister of a state stands up in the House, uses unparliamentary language, and raises slogans loudly, it is yet another example of the murder of democracy. The public is watching, and they see everything,” he said.
Earlier on Thursday, Mamata Banerjee, while speaking in the state assembly, launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging that it is against the Bangla-speaking people.
She further stated that the BJP will face a time when they will have no MLA from their party in West Bengal. She said that no party that wages linguistic terror against Bengalis can ever win Bengal.
“I condemn the BJP for their persecution of Bengalis. A time will soon come when not a single BJP MLA will remain in Bengal. The people themselves will ensure it. BJP will face inevitable defeat, for no party that wages linguistic terror against Bengalis can ever win Bengal,” Mamata Banerjee said.
The Chief Minister further called the BJP a party of “vote chor”, stating that it is corrupt to its core.
“BJP is a party of vote-chors, corrupt to the core, persecutors of Bengalis, and masters of deception. BJP is a national disgrace, and I condemn them in the strongest terms,” she said.
While Mamata Banerjee was speaking, she also faced a protest from the Opposition, after which the BJP leaders Suvendu Adhikari and Agnimitra Paul were suspended from the House. (ANI)
