West Bengal police has claimed that BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari hurled a ‘Khalistani’ slur at a Sikh police officer, on Thursday! The West Bengal Police has expressed outrage and claimed the comments of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari as malicious, racial, communally inciting and they also said this is a criminal act!
“We, the West Bengal Police fraternity, are outraged to share this video, where one of our own officers was called ‘Khalistani’ by the state’s Leader of the Opposition. His ‘fault’: he is both a proud Sikh, and a capable police officer who was trying to enforce the law…This comment is as much malicious and racial as it is communally inciting. It is a criminal act. We unequivocally condemn the unprovoked, unacceptable attack on an individual’s religious identity and beliefs aimed to incite people to take to violence and break the law… Stern legal action is being initiated,” the west Bengal police has claimed in a series of posts on ‘X’.
Because of this incident, a strong reaction has came from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. She said that BJP’s politics has shamelessly overstepped the constitutional boundaries. “Today, the BJP’s divisive politics has shamelessly overstepped constitutional boundaries. As per BJP every person wearing a TURBAN is a KHALISTANI. I VEHEMENTLY CONDEMN this audacious attempt to undermine the reputation of our SIKH BROTHERS & SISTERS, revered for their SACRIFICES and UNWAVERING DETERMINATION to our nation. We stand firm in protecting Bengal’s social harmony and will take stern lawful measures to prevent any attempts to disrupt it,” she said in a post on ‘X’, formally known as Twitter.
The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also strongly opened up against the incident. He has said that BJP’s poison of hatred has blinded them so much that they can neither see a farmer, a jawan or respect an officer in khaki. “The poison spread by the BJP’s ‘cultivation of hatred’ has tainted our ‘political marketplace.’ People who have been blinded by this poison are neither able to see the farmers, nor the soldiers, nor the respect for khaki. The nation stands with IPS Jaspreet Singh,” he said in a post on ‘X’.
