Kolkata, Apr 12 (Reporter) Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday hit out
at BJP leader Amit Malviya after he claimed West Bengal has become a
safe
haven for terrorists following the arrest of two suspects from poll-
bound East Medinipur.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing the blast
case, arrested the two key accused, identified as Mussavir Hussain
Shazib, and Adbul Matheen Taha, NIA said in a statement today.
Mussavir Hussain Shazeb, a resident of Thirthahalli in Shivamogga
district,
was the mastermind, who carried out the blast, the anti-terror agency
said after arresting the duo in the early hours from Contai on Friday.
" Heard one BJP leader (Child) saying that Bengal is not safe, "
Banerjee retorted.
" The accused were hiding here for two hours and within two hours they
were arrested due to a prompt response by our State police, " Banerjee
asserted.
" What about States where you are in power? What about Uttar
Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Gujarat, Bihar?, " the ruling Trinamool
Congress chairperson
questioned.
" (The ) People of Bengal want to live in peace but the BJP doesn't
like this, " Banerjee concluded.
BJP leader Amit Malviya in a post said, " NIA detains two chief
suspects in the Rameshwaram Cafe blast, bomber Mussavir Hussain Shazib
and accomplice Abdul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa, from Kolkata. Both likely
belong to ISIS cells in Shivamogga, Karnataka. West Bengal, unfortunately, under Mamata Banerjee, has become a
safe haven for terrorists, " Malviya, in-charge of BJP's National
Information & Technology Dept.
and co-incharge West Bengal, said on his X handle.
" Well done @WBPolice in connection with the Bengaluru-cafe blast
arrest. Even @NIA_India has acknowledged it in their statements. Any
anti-forces should be strictly dealt with, " TMC spokesman Kunal Ghosh
said.
" But let me ask to @BJP4India and their minions - where is this
arrests made from? KANTHI, " Ghosh asked.
" We all know which family and BJP's main leader runs illegal
activities from Contai. I urge the State agencies to investigate into
this matter to find out that
