Why should I say sorry? asks TMC MLA for remarks against PM Modi, Amit Shah

Sabitri Mukherjee, a West Bengal state assemblywoman for the TMC, is under fire for allegedly making disparaging comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

“You all are Duryodhan and Dushashan,” Mitra declared in her address to a crowd in her district on Sunday. “I would say to Amit Shah ji, I would say to Modi ji, I would say to other BJP leaders of West Bengal.”

 

Outside the Bengal Assembly on Monday, BJP MLAs demonstrated against Sabitri Mitra and demanded that she retract her comments. The MLA, however, refused to apologise and stated, “Why should I say sorry for statements which I haven’t spoken? ” in an interview with India Today. I didn’t refer to the PM or HM as “Duryodhan and Dushashan.” BJP leaders referred to the TMC as a party of dogs and compared Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, to “Suparnakha.” My criticism is of the BJP leaders’ insulting remarks.

“This habit of using abusive language against senior leaders is under the patronage of TMC leaders,” BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul protested Mitra’s remarks. We find it shocking that somebody would have the audacity to say such things. Actually, Mamata Banerjee exudes such strength because she speaks in such terms.
