In New Row After Mamata Banerjee's Apology, A Jibe At PM Over BJP Remarks
NDTV
Trinamool released a video in which Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari was purportedly heard making remarks against a state minister from the ST community.
After West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee apologised for colleague Akhil Giri's remarks on the President, Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee wondered if BJP leaders would do the same for MLA Suvendu Adhikari's "derogatory" comment against state minister Birbaha Hansda.
Terming the BJP as an "anti-tribal" party, the Trinamool national general secretary sought to know if BJP chief J P Nadda or Prime Minister Narendra Modi could "walk the talk" like the Chief Minister did.
"Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee apologised for the remarks made by minister Akhil Giri. The Trinamool condemned the statements made by Mr Giri. What about derogatory comments made by Suvendu Adhikari against Birbaha Hansda? Will Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Saha or BJP president J P Nadda ever apologise for Suvendu's horrendous statement against Birbaha Hansda? Can they walk the talk like Mamata Banerjee?" he said.
The Trinamool on Monday released a video in which the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, was purportedly heard making remarks against state minister from the Scheduled Tribes (ST) community, Birbaha Hansda.
