TMC’s senior MLA Sabitri Mitra sparked controversy during a rally in Malda’s Manikchak while addressing party workers ahead of the July 21 Martyrs’ Day preparations. Speaking from the stage, she said, “Our favourite religion is Islam, because the Muslim community does not do politics in the name of religion. But Hinduism has been turned into a political weapon.” Following her remarks, the BJP responded sharply, accusing Trinamool Congress of hurting Hindu religious sentiments for the sake of the Muslim vote bank. The incident has triggered strong political reactions, with opposition leaders demanding a response from the ruling party over the statement.
