CM Mamata Banerjee in Nabanna on Tuesday.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday that banning Chinese apps was not enough, and called for a proper response from Beijing, whose troops killed 20 Indian soldiers in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh on June 15.
“Banning some applications will not work. We want to give China an adequate response, “said the CM at a press conference, adding:” It is a matter for the Department of External Affairs, we will support the position of the central government … But, we have to be very aggressive on the one hand. and on the other, use the diplomatic channel. ”
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister’s nephew and TMC Deputy Abhishek Banerjee dug a hand out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sharing a video clip of Modi distributed on the popular social media application TikTok, which is among the 59 applications prohibited by the Center, the MP tweeted: “Just a few days ago, Narendra Modi ji was found crying for the martyrdom of our soldiers in the same Chinese application that you have now decided to ban. All in the name of an “adequate response” to China, whose incursions it even refuses to acknowledge. The hypocrisy of the honorable prime minister is surely laughable. ”
The CPM also ridiculed the Center. “The BJP is now banning Chinese applications. Interestingly, these applications were used by the BJP to create new party leaders. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi promoted apps that were funded by Chinese companies. Rather than ban apps, the prime minister should protect the country’s borders. The country must be united to fight against foreign powers, “said the party’s politburo leader, Mohammad Salim.
