New Delhi:Â The end of the war of words seems unlikely between TMC and BJP. The BJP-TMC stand-off once again played out in Parliament on Monday as TMC MPs held protest outside the House demanding a CBI probe in the alleged links of BJP President Amit Shah with the Sahara group.
TMC MPs stormed the well of the House in Rajya Sabha and shouted slogans in Lok Sabha as well. They are demanding a clarification from Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well.
TMC’s Sudip Bandyopadhyay said, “There was a diary found during the Sahara probe in which BJP President Amit Shah’s name appears. We have asked for the question hour to be suspended. We want the Prime Minister to give an explanation on this.”
The government was quick to hit back and said that TMC was making allegations for political gains. “There is no truth in such allegations. No such diary was recovered. TMC is making allegations for political gains,” Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said.
TMC’s renewed attack on the government was the fallout of BJP President Amit Shah’s rally in Kolkata on Sunday, where he accused TMC chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of using the money from the Saradha scam to fund the terrorists responsible for the Burdwan blast.
Mamata Banerjee will also hold a rally in Kolkata on Monday to counter Amit Shah.
