Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee of siding with terrorists of the Pulwama terror attack and the Batla House encounter. He did so in his election rally in Purulia on Thursday.
Quick to react, BJP, on its official twitter handle, shared a video of Trinamool Congress supremo’s video from 2008 where she is saying that the the Batla House encounter in which Arif Khan was arrested, and is now convicted and sentenced to death, was “fake.”

BJP twitter handle posted it with the caption: “Mamata Didi, when are you leaving politics?”
PM Modi at Purulia said, “This decision has brought light to a lot of new questions. When inspector Mohan Chandra Sharma was shot during the Batla House encounter, Didi was standing with the terrorists and questioning the encounter.”
Minutes after the verdict was announced, former Delhi Police Commissioner (CP) Neeraj Kumar who was also a part of the Batla House encounter, hailed the verdict and remarked that the sentence is a ‘tight slap’ to those ‘politicising’ the encounter.
