Mamata Banerjee Condemns BJP Leader's Remarks on Muslim MLAs in West Bengal

The West Bengal Chief Minister accused the BJP of promoting divisive politics and 'importing fake Hinduism' after Suvendu Adhikari's controversial statement.

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee criticized BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari for his statement suggesting Muslim MLAs would be removed from the state assembly if BJP comes to power in 2026.
Banerjee accused the BJP of 'importing fake Hinduism' and manipulating religious sentiments for political gain, asserting her own commitment to secularism and pluralism.
Adhikari later clarified his remarks, claiming he referred only to TMC’s Muslim MLAs losing elections, but his comments were widely condemned as inflammatory.
The controversy led to a walkout by BJP legislators during Banerjee's speech in the assembly, where she reaffirmed her stance against divisive politics and called for unity among communities.
A police complaint was filed against Adhikari by a former Congress lawmaker, alleging his remarks were intended to incite communal tension in the state.
