Bengal Assembly passes movement condemning Nupur Sharma remarks 

By PTI

KOLKATA: The West Bengal Assembly on Monday handed a movement condemning the controversial remarks by suspended BJP chief Nupur Sharma on Prophet Muhammad.

It was tabled by the state’s Parliamentary Affairs Minister Partha Chatterjee throughout the Mention Hour.

The movement was an unscheduled one, and it didn’t title anybody because the matter is sub judice.

“I strongly condemn the remarks made by certain leaders. Those were part of a greater design to spread hatred among communities ahead of the Lok Sabha polls,” Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee mentioned within the meeting.

The opposition BJP, in the meantime, staged a walkout from the meeting, shouting slogans towards the state authorities.
