'Mature Thing:' Shatrughan Sinha Defends Mamata's 'If Bengal Burns, Delhi Will Burn Too' Remark

New Delhi: TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha, on Saturday, defended West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's 'burn' remark by calling it a 'mature thing.'

Sinha said, "As far as I know my 'Didi' (Mamata Banerjee), what she said was a very mature thing. She meant to say that if they are trying to instigate people over the Kolkata incident which is being heard in the Supreme Court and being probed by CBI, the impact of this will not be limited to just West Bengal."

'If Bengal Burns, So Will Delhi': Under Fire Mamata Fearmongers Amid Protest Over Kolkata Horror

In an attempt to fearmonger, Banerjee, who has been facing flak over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at RG Kar hospital has warned of consequences 'if unrest continues in West Bengal'. “If you burn Bengal, then the North East, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and other states will also face the flames,” Banerjee said while addressing a public event to mark the foundation day of Trinamool Congress's students' wing. 

“Some people are thinking, this is Bangladesh. Please remember, I love Bangladesh, they speak like us, and their culture is the same as ours, but remember, Bangladesh is a separate nation and India is a separate nation. Mr. Modi, you're using your party to cause fire over here. Remember, if you burn Bengal, Assam, North-Eash, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi too shall burn! We will topple your chair”, Mamata said in an apparent threat. 

Do What You Think Would Be The Best: When Mamata Calls For Violence

"When we came to power, we used the slogan ,' Badla noy, bodol chai' (We want change, not Revenge), today I'm telling you something different, do what you think would be the best. I don't want violence , but if someone is plotting against you and biting you, you may not bite them back but you would at least hiss at them, is it not? A snake asked Ramkrishna Paramhans, sire you forbade me to bite anyone but there are many who throw rocks at me , bleed me. I'm hurt. To which Ramkrishna Thakur replied, I've asked you not to bite but you can always hiss at them. Your job is to remove the mask of those who plot against us and hiss at them. Learn to hiss at them."
