United Front: West Bengal's Stand Against Terror

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee underlined the importance of national unity in tackling terrorism on Wednesday, stressing that any divisions among the people must be set aside. Her statement followed Union Home Minister Amit Shah's high-priority meeting with chief ministers, chief secretaries, and DGPs of states neighboring Pakistan and Nepal.

The meeting addressed the recent retaliatory strikes by the Indian armed forces targeting terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. These actions came in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, underscoring the ongoing regional tensions.

In her appeal, Banerjee emphasized the need for collective action against terrorism and urged media outlets to report accurately and avoid spreading misinformation. Her comments reflect a call for cohesion during these challenging times at both a state and national level.
