Refuting the charges of illegal infiltration made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday (December 30, 2025) raised questions on terror attacks in Kashmir and Delhi and demanded the Home Minister’s resignation.
“They [the BJP] claim there are infiltrators only in Bengal and none in Kashmir. Then who carried out the Pahalgam attack? You say infiltrators exist only in Bengal, then what happened in Delhi? Who was responsible for the blast?,” the Chief Minister said, addressing a gathering in Bankura district. “The Home Minister must resign. If not, people will remove you from power,” she said.
Addressing a press conference in Kolkata, Mr. Shah had said the West Bengal government under Ms. Banerjee was “allowing infiltration as a policy to strengthen its vote bank”. The Home Minister had also accused the State government of not providing land for fencing along the Bangladesh border.
Land allotment
The Chief Minister also refuted allegations of not giving land to the Central government agencies and recalled different projects for which the West Bengal government had allocated land to the Central agencies.. “I have given enough land, but work on those areas where land has been allocated has not been completed yet,” Ms. Banerjee said.
