Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], August 31 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nitin Nabin slammed TMC MP Mahua Moitra's reported remark about Union Home Minister Amit Shah and alleged that efforts are going on to 'completely change' the demography of Bengal.

'...I believe that the use of such words by a woman can help people understand how violent the people sitting in the government today have become and efforts are being made there to completely change the demography of Bengal and our Home Minister is constantly fighting for it, he is fixing those things, so restlessness is visible but she does not know that the Home Minister has everyone's blessings. No one will be able to harm him,' Nabin told ANI on August 30.

TMC MP Mahua Moitra has reportedly said Union Home Minister Amit Shah's 'head should be cut off' for failing to check the infiltration of illegal Bangladeshis into India.

A video was posted on social media earlier showing the purported remarks of Moitra, where she said, 'He (Amit Shah) keeps saying infiltrators, infiltrators, infiltrators. The border is protected by forces that come under the Home Ministry.'

Responding to the alleged remarks, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has urged West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee to take punitive action against her party leader if she does not agree with the remarks.

He demanded an apology from the West Bengal Chief Minister, too.

In a post on X, Vishnu Deo Sai shared, 'The remark made by the Trinamool Congress MP against the Honourable Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji is not only objectionable but also a serious criminal act. Such audacity to make such remarks would not be possible without the backing of the Trinamool Congress high command and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.'

He further said that such remarks were an insult to the honour of 140 crore countrymen. (ANI)
