West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee publicly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to address a recent threat from Pakistan regarding a potential strike on Kolkata. During a rally in Bethuadahari, Nadia district, she questioned why Modi, who had targeted Bengal in his election speeches, did not respond to the warning issued by Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif. Asif had stated that Pakistan would retaliate with a strike in Kolkata if India engaged in any 'false flag operation'. Banerjee asserted that the state would not accept any threats and called for Modi's resignation for his inaction. This exchange highlights the political tensions in the lead-up to the elections in West Bengal, where security and national integrity are key issues.
