Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said the Trinamool Congress-led state government would provide shelter to people from violence-hit Bangladesh "if they come knocking on our doors".
"I cannot speak anything about Bangladesh as it is another country. The Indian government will speak about that. But if helpless people (from Bangladesh) knock on Bengal's door, we will shelter them. There is a resolution of the UN. Neighbors will respect refugees," Mamata Banerjee said.
The Trinamool Congress supremo was addressing a mega 'Martyrs' Day' rally of the Trinamool Congress amid heavy rain in Kolkata. "I assure you of all the cooperation with Bengal residents whose relatives are stuck in violence-hit Bangladesh," she added.
