Don't tar entire community for acts of a few: Mamata

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday said all people from a community should not be blamed because of the acts of a few members.

"A terrorist is a terrorist. He has no caste," Banerjee said at a programme here.

Recalling the anti-Sikh riots in various parts of the country that followed the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi Oct 31, 1984, she said all people from one community should not be tarred because of the acts of a motley group.

In the aftermath of the accidental blast at Khagragarh in Burdwan district Oct 2 that left two dead another injured, the role of the Muslim militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) has come under the scanner.
