Banerjee shared a video clip on X and said the BJP’s divisive politics has crossed all constitutional limits.”Today, the BJP’s divisive politics has shamelessly overstepped constitutional boundaries. As per @BJP4India every person wearing a TURBAN is a KHALISTANI. I VEHEMENTLY CONDEMN this audacious attempt to undermine the reputation of our SIKH BROTHERS & SISTERS, revered for their SACRIFICES and UNWAVERING DETERMINATION to our nation,” she posted on X.”We stand firm in protecting Bengal’s social harmony and will take stern lawful measures to prevent any attempts to disrupt it,” she said.The BJP, however, denied the charge and accused the police officer of not performing his duty as per the Constitution.”No one has abused him or used the word Khalistani. He is trying to make an issue. The police officer was not performing his duty as per the Constitution,” Paul said.Meanwhile, members of the Sikh community planned to gherao the BJP’s state headquarters on Muralidhar Lane in Kolkata in protest against the ‘Khalistani’ jibe, TMC sources said. They are also planning another protest in Asansol, they said.Earlier in the day, police had stopped Adhikari from visiting Sandeshkhali, citing that the imposition of prohibitory orders and the state government moving the division bench against a single bench order on Monday allowing the leader of the opposition in the assembly to visit the trouble-torn area.He later reached Sandeskhali after being granted permission by the division bench of the Calcutta High Court to visit the restive area.
