As the Opposition, especially Trinamool Congress (TMC) attacked Shah, Union Minister Babul Supriyo, elected on BJP ticket from West Bengal, expressed surprise over Jitendra Singh’s statement and alleged that ruling TMC and its MPs had links with terror plot in Bangladesh.

“I came to know about Jitendra Singh’s statement a little while back. There is a different reason. There were a lot of responsible minds who acted very fast to ensure that the state government has evidence, proofs and it has been recorded in front of several TV cameras.

“The state government was instrumental in destroying evidence that could prove state government’s, TMC’s or their MPs’ connection with the terror plot that is not only West Bengal centric but also finds its way into Bangladesh and neighbouring countries.

“So it was very smart of the central government to get NIA into the act. NIA is right now doing a very comprehensive research into the entire act. I got to know what Jitendra Singh said a while ago. I need to find out why he said so,” Supriyo told reporters outside Parliament.

Jitendra Singh was asked whether the government has sought details of the probe into the Saradha chit fund scam after reports indicated that a part of the money was routed to Bangladesh to fund terror activities. Singh replied that government has not sought details of the probe.
