"We should not comment in such a way that would instigate communal violence... All people are protesting as per their ability," Banerjee said during the question-answer period of the state Legislative Assembly.
Warning Bangladesh leaders who are allegedly threatening to “take” West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, “When you come to acquire, don’t think we will sit and eat lollipops.”

“We should not comment in such a way that would instigate communal violence… All people are protesting as per their ability,” Banerjee said during the question-answer period of the state Legislative Assembly.
Her remarks were directed towards “those who are saying they will acquire Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha”.
Attacking Bangladesh for the alleged atrocities on minorities, Banerjee said, “We are not taking it well… Those who are miscreants instigate riots… We do not need riots, we need peace. What a section of the media is doing is not right. We can’t ban them like Uttar Pradesh. We are appealing that they should not do this. A political party is also instigating… don’t do this.”
“Many people are trying to come to India from Bangladesh. The BSF is monitoring this. I would not comment on this. It is not our area. The Foreign Secretary went there, we are depending on that,” she said.
