“The border is protected by five forces, all under the Home Ministry. If the Prime Minister himself admits that infiltrators are changing India’s demographics, then why has his Home Minister failed to act?” she asked.
She went further, accusing the Home Ministry of neglecting its duty while citizens suffer. “When citizens say infiltrators are targeting our mothers, sisters, and land, why hasn’t Amit Shah done anything?” she questioned, adding that those in power must be held accountable.
BJP swiftly condemned Moitra’s remarks as “distasteful, dangerous, and inflammatory.” Party leaders demanded that the TMC clarify its stand and take disciplinary action against Moitra.
“If this isn’t the official stance of TMC, they must condemn it and apologise to the nation,” BJP leader Rahul Sinha said.
Local BJP members filed a police complaint at Kotwali station in Krishnanagar, and public outrage continues to grow. The TMC has yet to respond publicly to the controversy.
