TEHATTA/KHARDAH: Union home minister Amit Shah Friday accused West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee of denying citizenship to Dalit Matua and Namsudra communities as her vote bank would not like it .
Reaching out to the two numerically strong communities that can influence the outcome of assembly elections in many seats, Shah said a Rs 100 crore fund will be created for their welfare if the BJP is voted to power in the state.
He also mocked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling him a tourist politician .
Shah, who during his whirlwind tour of Bengal, addressed two rallies and participated in two road shows, said Banerjee s TMC will struggle to cross double digits. The state has 294 assembly seats and the TMC had clinched 184 in the 2016 state polls.
White House: Congress Should End Immunity for Gun Manufacturers
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that Congress needs to act to end immunity to gun manufacturers and restrict so-called “assault weapons,” coming after a shooting in Indianapolis on Thursday.
“Like all of you, we’re horrified by the shooting,” Psaki told a White House briefing. “We can’t afford to wait as innocent lives are taken … There’s more we can do and must do.”
She added that the Senate should take up and pass three bills passed by the House of Representatives to strengthen background checks, and Congress should act to end immunity for gun manufacturers and deal with “assault weapons.”

There are a lot of horrible people in the Republican Party, but on Thursday, freshman representatives
Lauren Boebert and
Marjorie Taylor Greene made the case that they are the absolute worst. But wait, you say, how could these two possibly top what we already know about them, which is that Boebert is a QAnon–spoutinggun nut who, hours after the Colorado supermarket shooting, sent a fundraising email warning that
Joe Biden is going to take away people’s guns, and, in the case of Greene, that she’s a batshit crazy conspiracy theorist who has called mass shootings a hoax, harassed a survivor of a school shooting, suggested trans people are pedophiles, and suggested that Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to serve in government? And the answer is that this week, Boebert and Greene decided to come out against cancer patients.
