Sources from West bengal stated that after hitting out at prime minister narendra modi for "frequently comparing india with Pakistan", West bengal chief minister mamata banerjee on friday wondered if he was an "ambassador of Hindustan or the neighbouring country". Meanwhile Ms Banerjee, while addressing an anti-citizenship law rally in siliguri, said it was a shame that people were being asked to prove their nationality, even after 70 years of Independence.
Accordinly "India is a big country with a rich culture and heritage. Why does the PM regularly compare our nation with Pakistan? Are you the prime minister of india or the ambassador of Pakistan?. She said "Why do you have to refer to pakistan in every issue? You (PM Modi) should rather speak of Hindustan. We don't want to be Pakistan. We love Hindustan," she said.
Moreover PM modi had on thursday dared the india NATIONAL CONGRESS' target='_blank' title='congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>congress and its allies to raise their voice against Pakistan's atrocities on its minorities for the past 70 years. Perhaps Ms Banerjee, who is also the TMC chief, said the prime minister and his party spoke of pakistan every now and then to divert attention from the prevailing economic crisis and unemployment in India. She said "If someone says give me job as I have no work, PM says go to Pakistan. If someone says we don't have any industries, he says go to Pakistan. pakistan can talk about themselves as much as they want, we should talk about india, this is our motherland, all of us were born here". Apparently Ms Banerjee vowed to continue her protests till the amended Citizenship Act was repealed.
