Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday lashed out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accusing her of allowing infiltration from Bangladesh. The home minister alleged that she is doing so to increase her vote bank.
‘Mamata Banerjee cannot stop infiltration’
Addressing the BJP workers meeting, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “.The elections of West Bengal will not only decide Bengal’s future, but it is also associated with national security. Mamata Banerjee has opened the nations borders for Bangladeshis. She is allowing infiltration… Mamata Banerjee cannot stop infiltration; only a Lotus government can do that. We have asked her for land to create the fence… She is not providing land at the borders, so that infiltration continues, and her vote bank keeps increasing, and your nephew becomes the CM after you. But this is not going to happen.”

Earlier, Amit Shah, who is on a two-day visit to West Bengal, inaugurated the new building of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) at Rajarhat in Kolkata.
In his address after the inauguration, Shah said, “The Indian government is creating a secure, transparent and evidence-based criminal justice system….it is necessary that those who stop crime should be two steps ahead of the criminals. Our criminal justice system is entering a new era.”
Centre established the first NFSU in 2020
He further pointed out that the central government in 2020 established the first National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), way before the three new criminal laws – BNS, BNSS and BSA – came into force.
He highlighted that eight such institutions have already been established nationwide, with eight more planned, emphasizing that graduates from these colleges will play a vital role in strengthening the state’s law and order.
