Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday made it clear that her party and government will stand by and support any decision of the Union government on external affairs issues over the ongoing crisis in neighboring Bangladesh.
"We are unable to comment, interfere or take any decision in such a matter. This is entirely a matter of the Union government. All I say is that I am against attacks on people from any religion, be it in our country or anywhere," the chief minister said while addressing the state Assembly on the fourth day of the Winter session.
She said she had also spoken to the chief of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Kolkata. Recently, monk and spokesperson of Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagaran Jote Chinmoy Krishna Das, popularly known as Chinmoy Prabhu, was arrested in that country.
