Kolkata: Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra came down on the Election Commission of India (ECI) for not taking action against Union home minister Amit Shah over his “Mullah, Madrasa, Mafia” remarks against the West Bengal administration.
In a post on platform X, she asked the poll body whether it is ‘drugged or dead’.
Moitra joined several others in criticising ECI accusing it of being partial towards the BJP-led NDA.
‘@ECISVEEP are you drugged or dead? Is Modi’s Code of Conduct of ‘Hate, Divide, Kill’ your only guide? Shame,” she wrote in a post on X.
Amit Shah told a campaign rally in Bengal yesterday that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government gave up its initial promise of a government “for Maa, Mati, Manush” (Mother, Land, People) and is catering to “Mullah, Madrasa, Mafia”.
Further criticising the state government he reportedly asked: ‘Is it correct to give an honorarium to imams and the Mullahs from the state exchequer? Calcutta High Court had issued an order against it, but, the Bengal government started giving it through the waqf board.’
Accusing Mamata Banerjee of allowing Rohingyas to enter the country, the BJP leader said that she did not participate in the Ram Mandir consecration event, restricted Durga idol immersions but granted extra holidays during Ramzan.
Amit Shah’s statements came a day after PM Modi said he does not do Hindu Muslim and the day he does so he will leave public life.
