Kolkata, Nov 11 (IANS) The Trinamool Congress leadership on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort metro station on Monday in which eight people died on the spot and dozens were injured, some of whom are in critical condition.
Soon after Trinamool Congress general secretary and party Lok Sabha member Abhishek Banerjee issued a statement demanding a court-monitored probe by a Special Investigation Team into the blast, West Bengal Minister in-charge of Women and Child Development and Social Welfare Department Dr Shashi Panja and the party’s Lok Sabha member from Barrackpore constituency in North 24 Parganas district Partha Bhowmik met media persons and demanded Union Home Minister Shah resign from his chair.
Panja and Bhowmik also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his two-day visit to Bhutan. Panja said, “When the blast occurred in Khagragarh in East Burdwan, West Bengal in 2014, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee immediately reached the spot. But in this hour of crisis, the Prime Minister has chosen to go to Bhutan.”
According to him, despite so many incidents of terrorist attacks in India, from the attack on an Indian Army convoy in Udhampur in 2015 to the latest blast in Delhi, what the BJP has done is create division among communities.
Panja said, “After demonetization in 2016, the Prime Minister had said that this step was the right step to stop terrorist funding and terrorism. But even after that, many terrorist attacks took place, such as the Pulwama massacre in 2019, the Pahalgam attack in 2025 and finally the Delhi blast on Monday. After every such massacre, the central government makes many big claims. But the terrorist attacks continue.”
Bhowmik claimed that his party leadership suspects that such terror attacks will continue, so that they can use such terror attacks as a tool to create division between the two communities.
Bhowmik said, “If terrorist camps were destroyed in Pakistan through ‘Operation Sindoor’, how could the Delhi blasts happen? We suspect that this could be followed by another attempt by the BJP to create an atmosphere of border conflict to gain political mileage.”
