Birbhum BJP leader issues ‘encounter’ threat, stirs row
Kolkata: A BJP leader from Birbhum’s Nanoor has threatened to carry out an encounter on anyone promoting anti-national sentiments while living in India.
“In this TMC regime, people can get away by saying they would convert India into Pakistan. If anyone says so in BJP regime, an encounter will be carried out,” said BJP’s Birbhum district president Dhruba Saha, while attending a roadshow in favour of candidate Tarak Saha.
BJP’s national secretary Anupam Hazra was alongside Saha when he made the threat.

TMC leader Sheikh Alam had allegedly said in the same area 10 days ago that “four Pakistans can be created if India’s 30% Muslims unite”. After the video went viral, the Election Commission showcaused him, following which he tendered an apology.
Reacting to Saha’s comment, TMC district vice president Abhijit Singha said: “BJP leaders have mastered the art of instigating violence.” Nanoor goes to polls in the last phase on April 29. tnn
