West
bengal cm mamata Didi will be meeting PM Modi today
evening at 5 pm and this has caused a huge expectation among political circles.
mamata banerjee, the
chief minister of West
bengal, has indicated she will speak with Modi, who has stated that the new Security Force Act will not limit him. The Union
home Ministry said on
october 11 that the law would be revised to extend the radius of the Security Force, which is stationed at
international borders, from 15 kilometers to 50 kilometers. The
punjab Legislative
assembly (BSF) has issued a resolution against the law in its Assembly.
The
international with
bangladesh is the longest of any
indian state's borders. The modification has received no opposition from the BJP-led state of Assam, which borders Bangladesh. The West
bengal Legislative
assembly passed a motion on
november 17 opposing the Union Government's
october 11 directive extending the Security Force's authority to
punjab, West
bengal, and Assam.
Mamata Banerjee, the
chief minister of West
bengal, said she would raise strong objections to expanding the Security Force's (BSF) jurisdiction in the state from 15 to 50 kilometres from the
international with
bangladesh when she meets
prime minister Narendra Modi in
delhi on Wednesday. They (the centre) will never be able to dominate us. The state is in charge of law and order. The Protection Act has our respect, but we will not allow it to dominate our region. The
bjp relies on
central government agencies to stay in power.
