West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee led a massive protest in Kolkata, daring BJP to “prove Bengali-speaking migrant workers are Rohingyas.” She accused the BJP of harassing Bengalis in NDA-ruled states and manipulating voter rolls to rig elections. Banerjee claimed 22 lakh Bengal migrants have valid documents and warned BJP against similar attempts in Bengal. Thousands joined the TMC rally, disrupting traffic, ahead of PM Modi’s Bengal visit. Meanwhile, BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari led MLAs to the Election Commission, demanding deletion of alleged “Rohingya” names from voter lists. TMC cited these actions as evidence of rising linguistic discrimination. (PC: News18)
