West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose on Wednesday urged Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee not to make any "politically-motivated populist remarks" on the current situation in neighboring Bangladesh that could affect the nation's external affairs.
Mamata Banerjee, during the TMC's Martyrs Day rally in Kolkata on Sunday, referred to violence-hit Bangladesh, saying she would keep the doors of West Bengal open for people in distress from the neighboring country and offer them shelter. She also posted similar comments from her X account.
Targetting the Trinamool supremo and prime critic of the Modi government, BJP leader Amit Malviya said, "Mamata Banerjee is a constant source of embarrassment, not just for West Bengal but also for India, now."
