Chop off Amit Shah's head, says TMC MP Mahua Moitra, targeting Centre on infiltration, BJP calls her remark 'disgusting'

TMC MP Mahua Moitra has triggered a controversy over her remark against Amit Shah on the issue of illegal immigrants entering from Bangladesh, when she said the Union Home Minister's head should be chopped off and put on a table.

"If there is no one to protect India's borders and disrespecting our women or even taking away our lands, then Amit Shah should be beheaded and his severed head should be put on the table," Moitra was quoted as saying by the media.

BJP reacts

BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari wrote on X: "Disgusting, Disgraceful!"

He further said: "That line from Mahua Moitra is beyond politics, it is pure hate speech, drenched in venom."

"Her level has stooped this low under able guidance by Mamata Banerjee’s TMC!" he said.

BJP West Bengal's official X page said: "When Mahua talks of beheading the Home Minister, it exposes TMC’s frustration and the violent culture that is tarnishing Bengal’s image and dragging the state behind."

Infiltration is now a major concern

Union government data accessed by CNN-News18 showed that exfiltration in the first half of this year stood at 3,536, almost thrice the number from 1,049 in 2024.
