Tarekswar (WB): In a veiled attack at the BJP, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday claimed that attempts were being made to disturb peace in West Bengal, with "burqa-clad men" being sent to streets to create panic amid rumours of child lifting.

The TMC chief, addressing an official function here in Hooghly district, said the Pulwama terror strike could have been averted if correct steps were taken on time. Without naming the BJP, she said attempts were being made to disrupt peace with the intention of creating a divide among people on the basis of religion for political benefit.
