West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not addressing Pakistan's recent threat to Kolkata. During a rally in Nadia district, Banerjee questioned why Modi failed to mention the issue in his election speeches across West Bengal.
Her remarks came after Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif warned of potential strikes on Kolkata in response to any 'false flag operation' by India. Banerjee expressed displeasure with the Prime Minister's silence, urging him to take firm action against any threats to the region.
Highlighting the seriousness of the threat, Banerjee asserted, "Like we do not accept threats to the entire country, threats specific to Kolkata will not be taken lightly." Her comments come amid heightened tensions and rhetoric between the two nations.
