Mamata Banerjee Steps Up Ante Against BJP On Eid, Says ‘I Am Fighting A Gaddar Party’

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday claimed that some people are trying to divide the country through ‘politics of hatred’ and asserted that she would not let the country get divided in the name of religion and was ready to lay down her life for it.

Addressing people who gathered to offer namaz on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr in Kolkata’s Red Road area, CM Mamata said, “Those who want to create divides in the country – I promise today on Eid, I am ready to give my life but I will not let the country divide. We don’t want danga, we don’t want a clash. We want shanti (peace).”

The Trinamool Congress chief also accused the BJP of trying to change the Constitution of the country. “If democracy will go away, everything will go away. Today Constitution is being changed, history is being changed. They brought NRC; I told them that I will not let them do that,” she stated.
