Bengal Assembly Condemns Nupur Sharma's Remarks, Passes Resolution

The Bengal Assembly passed a resolution on Monday condemning BJP leader Nupur Sharma’s remarks about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

BJP leaders led by Suvendhu Adhikari, started a protest when West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was addressing the Assembly.

“We took action when there was violence in the state. But how come this lady (Nupur Sharma) is still not arrested? I know she will not be arrested. She has sought time from Kolkata Police for four weeks. She was to appear before the police today,” said Mamta.

Nupur Sharma has requested a four-week extension to appear before the Kolkata Police due to alleged threats to her life as a result of her controversial remarks about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
