Abhishek Mr. Banerjee said it will be difficult for outsiders to understand Bengal’s tradition and heritage. TrInamul Congress national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee urged the people to give a befitting reply to the BJP, which has tried hard and soulfully to divide society by letting loose Hindus against Muslims and vice versa.
He was addressing a mammoth rally at Metiabruz this afternoon. Metiabruz Assembly seat falls under the Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha seat. The election in this constituency will be held on June 1. The BJP has fielded Abhijit Das for the seat.
All seven MLAs in the Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha seat belong to the Trinamul Congress. Mr. Banerjee felt that Metiabruz would take the lead in the ongoing general election to the Diamond Harbour seat to protest against the divisive politics of the BJP.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Banerjee said, “The BJP has always looked down upon the people of Metiabruz because of their religion. The BJP believes in division, so let loose one brother against the other and one religion against the other. They tried to create trouble in Metiabruz by playing communal cards, but it has failed due to every vigilant person.”
Mr. Banerjee assured that there would be no NRC, CAA, or Uniform Civil Code. “BJP has taken all these measures to take away the rights of the minorities, SC and ST people. In 2019, we said that we would not allow this to be
implanted here, and now we repeat what we have said.”
Mr. Banerjee said it will be difficult for outsiders to understand Bengal’s tradition and heritage. “For generations, we have lived peacefully and happily. In Bengal, people from different religions, cultures, and faiths take part in each other’s religious festivals. We give financial assistance to the Durga Puja clubs, and similarly, we give assistance to the Masjid committees and the organizers of fairs in the Christian community. We do not ask people to which community, caste, or religion they belong,” he said.
