BJP unleashing 'linguistic terrorism' on Bengalis: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of unleashing “linguistic terrorism” against Bengalis, PTI reported.

The Trinamool Congress chief said that the battle to protect the Bengali language and identity would continue until the BJP was ousted from both the state and the Centre. “If linguistic profiling does not stop, the resistance movement will reach Delhi,” she said.

Banerjee was speaking at a Martyrs’ Day rally held by the Trinamool Congress in Kolkata, where she called for support to defeat the BJP in the 2026 Assembly elections in the state and also remove it from power in Delhi.
