NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the BJP during an Eid-ul-Fitr event in Kolkata. She said she stands with people of all castes, communities, and creeds, while accusing the saffron party of attempting to curtail citizens’ rights through SIR.Speaking after Eid prayers at Red Road, Banerjee alleged that SIR is part of a larger effort to influence the electoral process in West Bengal. She claimed that names of voters had been deleted under the exercise and said she had taken the matter from Kolkata to Delhi, approaching both the Calcutta High Court and the Supreme Court. “I hope that people’s rights are safeguarded,” she added.”Those who are targeting Bengal and trying to divide people should go to hell,” the West Bengal CM said, as quoted by news agency PTI.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel pounds Tehran as Iranians mark Nowruz; UAE, Kuwait defences respond to missile barrageTrump Rules Out Ceasefire: says US nears Iran war goals; signals wider military options’Enemy has been defeated’: Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei claims victory over US, IsraelHer remarks come amid a growing political row over the electoral roll scrutiny exercise, which the TMC has repeatedly called an attempt to remove names of genuine voters, especially from minority-dominated areas, ahead of the assembly elections.The chief minister referred to Bengal’s long-standing tradition of communal harmony, saying the state would not allow attempts to divide society to succeed.“Bengal believes in unity. Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, everyone lives together here.
