Home minister, BSF must secure border, not TMC: Abhishek Banerjee

GUWAHATI: TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday hit back at Union home minister Amit Shah for his remarks in Guwahati on Tuesday that the Centre has not received enough support from the West Bengal government to stop illegal infiltration.

“It is the sole responsibility of the BSF to stop cross-border infiltration. They are the ones guarding the border. If they have any issue, it should be taken up with the state government directly. It is also the responsibility of the central government and home minister himself to keep the border secured,” said Abhishek.
