Calcutta:
After leading a protest march in Kolkata against what is known as the “Hathras horror”, West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee targeted the BJP governments in Uttar Pradesh and the center to “torture the Dalits. , minority communities and farmers. ” She said protests against the party’s “dictatorial forms” will continue in the state’s blocs and districts amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Covid is a pandemic, but the biggest pandemic is the BJP party. The BJP is a pandemic of atrocities and I will support all efforts to stop these atrocities. What do you think (BJP), your police will not let us meet the family?” I can meet the family tomorrow and you won’t even know. The daughter of Hathras is our daughter. If we want to illuminate the future of the country, we have to stand alongside the Dalits and minority communities … Today, I am not “I am Hindu, I am Dalit”, said the head of the Trinamool Congress, who is preparing to fight the elections of the State Assembly next year with the BJP as the main opponent.
Ms Banerjee addressed a rally, the first since the coronavirus pandemic broke out in March, a day after a team of members of Congress from Trinamool were barred from entering Hathras to meet with the victim’s family. . While party deputy Pratima Mondal was mistreated by the police, Derek O’Brien was knocked to the ground.
Ms Banerjee also accused the BJP of speaking out before the elections, but keeping its reality “veiled”. “During the elections, the BJP leaders go to a Dalit house, get food from outside, eat it and claim that they have eaten in a Dalit house. After the elections, they will torture the Dalits, they will flog them,” he said.
“BJP has brought shame to the country. Shame, shame, BJP for what happened to our daughter. He wanted to speak to the family of the Hathras victim by phone, but her phone had been stolen … the commission showed up in Hathras But how many commissions came to manage the Delhi riots? “she asked.
Ms. Banerjee added that any attempt to speak about minority welfare is labeled “Muslim appeasement.”
“Who are you (BJP) to give a certificate (of approval)? You saw the drama in Mumbai (about the death of Sushant Singh Rajput). We want justice for the Dalits, not drama,” he said.
Stating that there was no democracy in the country under the BJP, but a “dictatorship”, Ms Banerjee said that India was heading towards a “presidential form of government”, and that the largest “maha purush in the country was not Netaji neither Gandhi nor Ambedkar. ” or Tagore or Bhagat Singh, but the BJP. “
In response to the BJP’s mockery about the absence of data on rapes in West Bengal, the Trinamool head of Congress questioned the center about the parliament’s “no data” responses on migrant and farmer deaths.
“We will all die one day. But not as a coward. The BJP is not the future of the country. They will be defeated,” he said, adding that the BJP arouses nationalist sentiments for electoral gain, but then “sells Railways, Air india.”
