The West Bengal Chief Minister attacked Modi at three rallies at minority-dominated Budge Budge, Metiabruz and at Chowrashtra in Behala.
'People of Bengal were being dubbed as refugees and shamed. Some people were being called infiltrators. If they try to divide Bengal, if they try to evict anyone, I will guard you. I will not let anyone touch you. He said I respect refugees. Who is a refugee? Does he understand what it means?” she said.
'Those who came here even after 1971 were Indians. The Indira-Mujib treaty is clear on this,' she added.
On Modi's charge that she had raised the issue of infiltrators in 2005, Banerjee said “I had raised the issue of bogus ration cards in Bengal.'
'After we came to power in the state we took steps and 88 lakh bogus ration cards were detected most of them were CPI(M) cadres,' she said.
