Mamata Banerjee Accuses BSF of Facilitating Infiltration into West Bengal

The West Bengal Chief Minister alleges a central government plan to destabilize the state, while the BJP and BSF deny the claims.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claims the Border Security Force (BSF) is allowing infiltrators from Bangladesh to cross into the state, targeting areas like Islampur, Sitai, and Chopra.
Banerjee accuses the central government of orchestrating a 'blueprint' to destabilize West Bengal and alleges BSF involvement in crimes and atrocities against women in border regions.
The Chief Minister has instructed state police and officials to investigate the alleged facilitation of infiltration and plans to send a formal protest letter to the central government.
The BJP and Union Minister Giriraj Singh refuted the allegations, accusing Banerjee of enabling illegal immigration for political gain and failing to provide land for BSF infrastructure along the border.
The controversy arises as tensions between India and Bangladesh escalate following political changes in Dhaka and increased border vigilance by the BSF.
