Kolkata: After authorities in West Bengal increased the security and surveillance on International borders and arrested several infiltrators of Bangladesh the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Bnarjee on Thursday alleged Border Security Forces for facilitating militants to enter in the state. 

She while addressing the State Administrative Review Meeting at the Nabanna Sabhaghar in Kolkata alleged BSF for facilitating militants and infiltrators from Bangladesh to enter the state. “That because of this there were disruptions in the region.”

She further added if such activities continue in the state the Trinamool Congress (TMC) would protest against them.

She remarked that the BSF, which is responsible for guarding the borders, was allowing individuals to cross into India from regions such as Islampur, Sitai, and Chopra and questioned the motives behind this and attributed it to a “blueprint” from the central government.

She emphasised that the situation would not have been possible without the central government’s involvement.

“Border is guarded by BSF but not TMC… They are sending goons. They are sending people who murder people through the border. It is an inside job of the BSF, and it is a blueprint of the Central Government. If there was not any blueprint from the Central Government, then it would not be possible,” the West Bengal CM said.

 Banerjee also denied any involvement of the TMC in the alleged infiltration, asserting that the party was not responsible for the actions of individuals crossing the border. She placed the blame squarely on the BSF, which she said was in charge of securing the border areas. Banerjee further accused the BSF of committing atrocities against women.

“BSF is allowing people to enter from Islampur, Sitai, Chopra, and many other regions…The border is in the hands of BSF.”

She further added, “BSF is also causing atrocities against women. The border is not in our hands; it is in the hands of the BSF.”

Banerjee also stated that the central government had been repeatedly informed of her concerns, and she made it clear that TMC would follow the government’s decision but would oppose any action that allowed militants to disrupt peace.
