CM Mamata Banerjee lashes out at BJP over Bengal violence
The Chief Minister's official Twitter account posted today (June 11) in Bengali which roughly translates to, "As I have said before, for the past two days, incidents of violence have brought life to a standstill in Howrah. There are some political parties behind this and they want to cause riots - but these things will not be tolerated and strict action will be taken against all of them. Why should people suffer because of BJP's sin?"
আগেও বলেছি, দুদিন ধরে হাওড়ার জনজীবন স্তব্ধ করে হিংসাত্মক ঘটনা ঘটানো হচ্ছে । এর পিছনে কিছু রাজনৈতিক দল আছে এবং তারা দাঙ্গা করাতে চায়- কিন্তু এসব বরদাস্ত করা হবে না এবং এ সবের বিরুদ্ধে কঠোর ব্যবস্থা হবে। পাপ করল বিজেপি, কষ্ট করবে জনগণ?
