While asking on Amit Shah attending Durga pooja and JP Nadda's visit to the state for tarpan, Debasree said, "It is a part of our culture, we do tarpan for our workers who have been killed and pooja celebration is also our culture. We do not do politics over cultures just like TMC does during Moharram for appeasement politics."
She further added, "Mamata Banerjee is against NRC but it will happen as Home Minister said we do not have many resources to feed foreigners and give birth to JeM like terrorist groups." (ANI)
