'Using cheap language against CM': TMC hits out at Amit Shah on remarks against Mamata Banerjee
NEW DELHI:
Trinamool Congress
MP
Sagarika Ghose
on Sunday sharply criticised Union home minister
Amit Shah
for his remarks on CM
Mamata Banerjee
during his two-day visit to West Bengal.
Addressing a press conference, Ghose condemned Shah's comments against Mamata, saying his language resembled that of a "
BJP
worker, not a home minister of India."
"At a time when the All Indian Trinamool Congress is standing firmly with the Government of India, when our national general secretary is abroad on MPs delegation, speaking strongly for the Government of India, speaking against Pakistan-based terrorism; at this time, none other than the home minister comes to Bengal and acts like a BJP worker and uses cheap language against our respected CM, Mamata Banerjee,' Ghose said.
Further continuing her jab, she claimed, "Amit Shah's politics is all about divide and rule."

Ghose's remarks came in response to Amit Shah's speech in Kolkata, where he accused Mamata Banerjee of turning West Bengal into a state of "infiltration, atrocities on women, bomb blasts and immorality with Hindus" since taking office. Shah also alleged that 'hundreds of BJP workers' were killed during her tenure and predicted that the BJP would unseat the TMC government in the 2026 assembly elections.

"For years, Bengal was ruled by communists. After that, Mamata Banerjee came by with the slogan 'Maa, Maati, Maanush'. She converted the great land of Bengal into a land of infiltration, atrocities on women, crime, bomb blasts and immorality with Hindus... Hundreds of BJP workers were killed in West Bengal after Mamata Banerjee became the CM," Shah said.
Amit Shah also called on the Bengal CM to contest elections 'without violence,' claiming her 'deposit would be seized."

"Time for Party to prepare": BJP chief JP Nadda charts roadmap in Himachal ahead of Panchayat polls
Solan (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 3 (ANI): Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President JP Nadda on Monday chaired a key core group meeting of the party in Himachal Pradesh's Solan, and instructed the state unit to start preparing for the upcoming Panchayat elections. During his visit, Nadda also participated in a Tiranga Yatra, where he congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the armed forces for Operation Sindoor. In his address during the core group meeting, Nadda instructed the state BJP to launch a series of outreach programmes over the next two and a half months from June 5 to August 15 coinciding with the 11th anniversary of the Modi government. These events, he emphasised, should highlight the achievements of the Centre and energise party cadres across Himachal Pradesh. The State spokesperson and BJP MLA Randheer Sharma elaborated on the upcoming programme, saying, 'from Sankalp to Siddhi, We'll Take 11 Years of Modi's Work to the people.' 'The main agenda of today's core group meeting was to prepare for the campaigns around the 11-year milestone of the Modi government, which has undoubtedly been historic. Under the slogan 'Sankalp se Siddhi Tak', we will reach out to the public with the government's achievements,' he added. Sharma also outlined specific events being planned. 'On June 5, World Environment Day, we will begin with environment-related events. On June 21, we will observe International Yoga Day with programmes at the mandal level. On June 25, we will observe a 'Black Day' to mark the anniversary of the Emergency. Each of these events will be well-planned, and this detailed calendar will serve as a launchpad for our party's strategy leading into upcoming Panchayati Raj and Assembly elections,' he said. Meanwhile, former Himachal CM Jai Ram Thakur expressed his happiness over Nadda attending the Tiranga Yatra despite having a busy schedule. 'It was a matter of joy that despite attending a family function in Himachal, Nadda ji participated in both the Tiranga Yatra and the core group meeting. His presence has deeply motivated the party workers,' he added. Thakur further emphasised the significance of the guidance provided by the BJP national president, saying, 'he told us it's time to prepare, as half of the state government's term is already over. Naturally, as the Opposition, it's our responsibility to raise public issues both inside and outside the Assembly and face the upcoming challenges from the ruling side effectively. (ANI)

"His statement suggests they informed Pakistan in advance...": Digvijaya Singh on Jaishankar's 'Operation Sindoor' remark
Mandla (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 3 (ANI): Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Monday criticised External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar over his recent statement about 'Operation Sindoor', suggesting that the government may have informed Pakistan in advance about targeting terrorist camps. Speaking to ANI, Singh said, 'S Jaishankar is a highly experienced diplomat. His father was a renowned figure and a respected defence analyst. But now, his own statement suggests that they informed them (Pakistan) in advance that they would be targeting terrorist camps. If you've already told the enemy that you're coming to attack, naturally, they will vacate the area. When you warn your enemy beforehand, they will obviously be prepared.' Earlier, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, also raised questions regarding the operation. He shared a video on social media platform X, where Jaishankar is seen speaking to reporters following the inauguration of the Honduras Embassy in Delhi. Gandhi accused the government of serious lapses. In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, 'Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that GOI did it. 1. Who authorised it? 2. How many aircraft did our airforce lose as a result?' The Ministry of External Affairs, however, rebutted Gandhi's accusations against External Affairs Minister Jaishankar that the government 'informed Pakistan' before the start of 'Operation Sindoor.' According to the XP Division of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Jaishankar had said that India had warned Pakistan at an early phase after Operation Sindoor's commencement. XP Division, MEA stated, 'EAM had stated that we had warned Pakistan at the start, which is clearly the early phase after Op Sindoor's commencement. This is being falsely represented as being before the commencement. This utter misrepresentation of facts is being called out.' Speaking to reporters on May 15, after the inauguration of the Honduras Embassy in Delhi, Jaishankar said, 'It is clear who wanted cessation of firing. We achieved the goals which we set out to do by destroying the terrorist infrastructure. Since key goals were achieved, I think we reasonably took the position, because even at the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan saying we are striking at terrorist infrastructure and not the military, and the military has an option to stand out and not interfere.' 'They chose not to take that good advice. Once they got badly hit on the morning of May 10. The satellite pictures show how much damage we did and what little damage they did. It is clear who wanted cessation of firing,' he added. Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7, targeting nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM). India's military action came in response to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 people and injured several others. (ANI)
