Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], December 21 (ANI): West Bengal governor Jagdeep Dhankar on Monday said that the practice of calling someone from another region of our country as an outsider is unconstitutional.
This comes nearly a month after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that there is no place for outsiders who come during polls and incite violence. I do not understand based on what perspective is a person from another region of our country called an outsider . This culture is unconstitutional. If one says such a thing I would request them to read the Indian Constitution, said governor Dhankar during a media interaction.
