Movie director Aparna Sen has been allegedly termed as an "anti national" by BJP national vice president Dilip Ghosh for her alleged remarks against the Border Security Force (BSF).
"They are anti-nationals...Whatever is in favour of the country, they oppose it. Be it Indian tradition or Hindutva. They are the same people who earn fame, wealth from country," Ghosh told media persons here on Friday.
This comment by Ghosh has come after a legal notice was sent to filmmaker Aparna Sen by BJP's National Executive Committee member Anirban Ganguly, seeking unconditional apology for allegedly calling BSF personnel "murderers" and "rapists".
Earlier on Thursday, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari visited the headquarters of the Border Security Force (BSF)'s South Bengal Frontier in Kolkata to apologise to the security force officers for the alleged derogatory language used by Trinamool Congress MLAs against the personnel.
- West Bengal Legislative Assembly on Tuesday passed a resolution against the Centre's move to extend BSF's jurisdiction to 50km from the international border in the state.
Adhikari said 112 members voted in favour of the resolution and 63 members opposed it.
The BJP opposed the resolution. The Centre had earlier in October empowered BSF to conduct searches, arrest suspects and make seizures up to an area of 50 km inside Indian territory from the International Border (IB) along India Pakistan and India-Bangladesh borders.
