Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee today launched a scathing attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the recent incident in Malda. Speaking at a rally in Sagardighi, she termed the incident a “pre-planned conspiracy” to defame Bengal. “Everything has been ruined by design. Amit Shah has orchestrated this. He is an incompetent Home Minister who can neither protect the borders nor the country. I demand his immediate resignation,” she stated emphatically.

Expressing deep resentment over the current administrative setup, the Chief Minister claimed she is being kept in the dark by top officials. “The CS and DG no longer contact me. Since you have taken away all powers from my hands, the responsibility for law and order lies with you. I had to learn about the Malda incident from journalists. Why is the state being insulted like this?” she questioned.

Mamata further criticized the frequent transfer of IAS and IPS officers, suggesting that new appointees lack local insight, which leads to such lapses. She also took a swipe at the Congress, accusing them of being complicit in the unrest. Concluding her speech, she urged the people of Bengal to remain vigilant against attempts to destabilize the state for political gains.
