No problem with NIA probe into Burdwan blast: Mamata
October 17, 2014 20:41
Faced with a barrage of criticism over her government's handling of the Burdwan blast, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said she had no problem with the NIA probe since "terrorists are terrorists", but only wanted the Centre to consult the state before taking any decision.
In her first statement over the October 2 blast, Banerjee said "we want the truth to come out" and warned the BJP, without naming the party, against linking the incident with religion.
"Ciminals are criminals. They do not have caste, creed or religion. Terrorists are terrorists and there can be no compromise with terrorism," Banerjee told a press conference at the party headquarters after a party meeting attended by MPs, ministers and MLAs.
Mamata had earlier expressed reservation over the Centre's decision ordering a NIA probe into the blast, in which terror links are suspected, suo motu without informing the state government.
