West Bengal Minister Calls for Expulsion of CPI(M) Leader Mohammad Salim
West Bengal Minister Arjun Singh labels CPI(M) leader Mohammad Salim as anti-national, urging his removal from the country.
Kolkata, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : Kolkata witnessed a heated exchange on Saturday as West Bengal‘s Transport Minister, Arjun Singh, launched a scathing attack on CPI(M) state secretary Mohammad Salim. Singh described Salim as “anti-national” and insisted that he should be expelled from the country. He urged the public to remain cautious of the CPI(M) leader, claiming that Salim does not represent true Indian values.
Singh asserted that Salim is a radical leftist who often speaks about brainwashed Maoists, further questioning his allegiance to India. “Mohammad Salim is not Indian. We must warn everyone to be cautious of him. He should not only be removed from Bengal but from the entire country,” Singh declared. He criticized Salim for his views on Pakistan, suggesting that the CPI(M) leader harbors negative sentiments towards India.
In response to Singh’s comments, a CPI(M) spokesperson challenged him, stating, “If you have the power, show us by expelling Mohammad Salim from the country. Arjun Singh was once expelled from the BJP and later from the Trinamool Congress. Now that you are a minister, speak with respect towards the opposition. Disrespect will only lead to your own downfall.”
Baiswanor Chattopadhyay, spokesperson for the Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee, remarked that anyone who criticizes the BJP is quickly labeled a traitor.
Recently, Salim criticized the BJP for allegedly replacing historical facts with gossip and pseudo-science, asserting that the party is undermining India’s culture and traditions. He warned that the rise of the BJP in West Bengal is leading the state down a path of destruction.
