Kolkata: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is being slammed by netizens for her comment on the rape case of a 14-year-old girl in the Nadia district.

Mamata had questioned whether the girl was actually raped or had a love affair that got her pregnant.

“How do you know if she was raped? The police are yet to ascertain the cause of the death. I had asked them. Was she pregnant or had a love affair or was sick? Even family knew it was a love affair. If a couple is in a relationship, how can I stop them?,” the chief minister said during an address at the inauguration of the ‘Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan’

“This is not Uttar Pradesh that I can do that in name of Love Jihad,” she further said.

Mamata Banerjee said the state child commission will investigate the matter.

Attacking the Centre the Chief Minister said, “How many CBI probes have been done in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Assam and Bihar over murders of people? How many leaders were arrested? No matter how many conspiracies you do by using CBI, ED. Do not think that we are weak.”
