BJP claims Cooch Behar killing is CBI questions politicised, TMC calls it genocide personal staffers Kolkata: Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is politicizing the deaths of four people at Cooch Behar by CISF open firing. “Ananda Burman of Rajbangshi community also died at the same booth. But Mamata didi didn’t show him any respect. But the other four who had died by CISF firing have a special mention to Mamata didi due to her appeasement politics,” mentioned Shah. Notably, an 18-year-old first-time voter, was killed in two separate incidents of pollrelated violence in Cooch Behar. Addressing a public rally, the Union Home Minister stated that though the Bengali’s will celebrate their New Year on April 15, the actual celebrations will be on May 2. “Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will have to tender her resignation to the Governor on May 2. She always gave shelter to the illegal infiltrators who had always taken away the basic rights of the residents of the state. After BJP comes to power the BJP will seal the borders of both 24 parganas so that no illegal infiltrators can come in,” claimed Shah. Taking a potshot at the TMC supremo, of Deshmukh Shah alleged that yesterday’s violence at Cooch Behar during the fourth phase of polls is due to the instigation of Mamata Banerjee.“Mamata didi had always ignited the people by saying to take home utensils while voting and also by saying that the people especially the women should gherao the CRPF, and yesterday something similar had happened which led to the demise of four people,” claimed the Home Minister. Meanwhile, TMC Supremo Mamata Banerjee had made video calls to the families of the deceased people and had assuRed them of all help.

Natanz atomic site blackout 'nuclear terrorism' Iran on Sunday described a blackout at its underground Natanz atomic facility an act of “nuclear terrorism,” raising regional tensions. Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Iran, of Organization stopped short of directly blaming anyone for the incident. Details remained few about what happened early Sunday morning at the facility, which initially was described as a blackout caused by the electrical grid feeding the site. Many Israeli media outlets offered the same assessment that a cyberattack darkened Natanz and damaged a facility that is home to sensitive centrifuges. While the reports offered no sourcing for the evaluation, Israeli media main- tains a close relationship with the country's military and intelligence agencies. If Israel caused the blackout, it further heightens tensions between the two nations, already engaged in a shadow conflict across the wider Middle East. “To thwart the goals of this terrorist movement, the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue to seriously improve nuclear technology on the one hand and to lift oppressive sanctions on the other hand,” Salehi said, accord. ing state TV He added: “While condemning this desperate move, the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasises the need for a confrontation by the international bodies and the (International Atomic Energy Agency) against this nuclear terrorism.”
