'How can you think of throwing out Muslim MLAs?: Mamata Banerjee slams Suvendu Adhikari over remarks in assembly

Banerjee and the BJP clashed in the Assembly on Wednesday, exchanging sharp allegations of communalism ahead of the 2026 state elections, after BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari remarked that Muslim MLAs from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) would be "thrown out" of the Assembly if the BJP came to power.

The TMC supremo condemned Adhikari’s statement, accusing the BJP of spreading divisive politics and "importing fake Hinduism" into Bengal.

“Your imported Hindu dharma is not supported by the Vedas or by our seers. How can you deny the rights of Muslims as citizens? This is nothing but a fraud. You are importing fake Hinduism," she said.
