Reacting to the Barkati's charges, Ghosh lashed out at him and said this country is neither Pakistan nor Bangladesh that he could issue fatwa and would go scot-free.
The war of words between TMC and BJP in West Bengal escalated further with a Muslim cleric issuing a Fatwa against BJP state president Dilip Ghosh. Shahi Imam of Tipu Sultan Mosque Maulana Noor-ur Rahman Barkati told a press conference that he has issued the fatwa against Ghosh for "making filthy comments against the chief minister".
"From where does he get such audacity to make filthy comments against our beloved chief minister who is the most secular leader of our country’ I issued the fatwa which states that he should be pelted with stones and then kicked out of Bengal. He does not deserve to stay in Bengal," Barkati said.
Barkati was accompanied by TMC MP Idris Ali, who too condemned Ghosh for his comments. Reacting to the Barkati's charges, Ghosh lashed out at him and said this country is neither Pakistan nor Bangladesh that he could issue fatwa and would go scot-free.
"What does Barkati think, is this Bangladesh or Pakistan that he will issue fatwa against me’ He can issue fatwa against TMC, they will listen to him, but not BJP. It seems that Barkati no longer wishes to stay in Bengal or India. I think he is planning to migrate to Pakistan or Bangladesh," Ghosh told PTI. Earlier, the Trinamool Congress had condemned Ghosh for using "abusive and goonda-like" language against Banerjee, while announcing a three-day protest the Centre's demonetization of high-value notes.
Tearing into West Bengal, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Dilip Ghosh for his remark on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Monday said the former has stooped to a ‘new low’ of politics. ‘The BJP are desperate to silence the voice of opposition. So, they are indulging in cheap low level politics. This is a new low in politics,’ said TMC leader Derek O'Brien.
He further said that Ghosh has spewed deeply dangerous, threatening, abusive and completely false personal allegation against Mamata.
‘The BJP cannot fight Mamata on policy, good governance and principle and her stand on demonetization on behalf of millions of people who have been affected by the government’s policy,’ he said.
Ghosh on Sunday said that TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, has lost her mind after the demonetization drive and that was why she recently visited Delhi and Patna.
"During the last elections also, she had said she would tie Prime Minister Modi with a rope. When she was staging protests in Delhi, if we wanted we could have thrown her out of Delhi by grabbing her hair as we have our police deployed there, but we didn’t do so. How can a Chief Minister use such words for the prime minister, it’s not right,’ he said.
