West Bengal Governor Warns CM on Remarks about Bangladesh

West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose cautioned Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee against making politically charged statements regarding the situation in Bangladesh. This follows Banerjee's remarks offering shelter to people from Bangladesh amid ongoing protests, which drew objections from Bangladesh Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud.

West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose has urged Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to refrain from making ''politically-motivated populist remarks'' on the current situation in neighboring Bangladesh, stressing that such comments could impact the nation's external affairs.

The Governor’s remark came after Bangladesh Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud expressed concerns over Banerjee's statement of offering ''shelter'' to Bangladesh citizens amidst ongoing protests in the country. Mahmud's objections were communicated through diplomatic channels.

Banerjee made the controversial remarks during the TMC's Martyrs Day rally in Kolkata and reiterated them on social media. Meanwhile, BJP leader Amit Malviya criticized Banerjee, calling her a source of embarrassment for both West Bengal and India.
