Centre laundering country's internal security details to China firm: Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata, Dec 30 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday alleged that the BJP-ruled NDA government in Centre is forwarding information, relating to country's internal security, to a Chinese company.

"Why Narendra Modi is promoting a charged company like Paytm, I don't understand," she said during a press conference here in state administrative building at Nabanna.

Talking about the arrest of TMC MP Tapas Pal, Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee said that it was a political vendetta of the BJP as she and her TMC party is raising protests against demonetisation.

"I knew that Tapas Pal would be arrested today to stop our protests against demonetisation. Even if they arrest all our MPs, our movement against Centre's anti-poor and anti-people policies will be continued," Banerjee said.

"They can arrest me, I would take rest behind the bars and also would get opportunities to write poems to publish in upcoming Kolkata book fair," mocking the CBI, she said.

She also claimed that CBI is being operated from BJP headquarters and Modi's house.

"Several BJP leaders, including Roopa Ganguly and Babul Supriyo, entertained hospitality from Rose Valley. Then why did CBI not call them?" TMC chief said.

Banerjee claimed that she has a list of seven-eight TMC leaders, who would be called by the CBI very soon.

"Sudip Bandyopadhyay will surely visit CBI office like a valiant," she added.

After a marathon interrogation of nearly four hours, CBI on Friday late afternoon arrested actor-turned-TMC MP Tapas Pal in connection with Rose Valley financial scam.

Meanwhile, demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resignation, she said, "Earlier on November 8, Narendra Modi asserted people to restore the financial crisis by 50 days and when the deadline is just over, situation remains the same."

"He should accept his failure and resign from his post immediately, after begging apologies from the country's people," Banerjee further said.

Speaking about the upcoming elections in several states, she said, "I will be happier if BJP is defeated in upcoming assembly elections in UP, Punjab, Goa and Uttarakhand."

Meanwhile, Bengal Chief Minister declared 10% Dearness Allowance (DA) for state government employees on Friday.
