Reacting to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's address in the state Assembly after passing a resolution on the Pahalgam attack, the state's Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari said the manner in which she spoke was anti-national. He added, "BJP MLAs gave a befitting reply...BJP raised their voice to uphold nationalism." Mamata said that a 'Pulwama' should not happen before elections.
