Bengal will burn if Mamata arrested: Trinamool MP

Kolkata, Dec 31: Facing the heat over the CBI probe in the multi-crore-rupee Saradha scam in which four Trinamool Congress leaders have been arrested, a party MP has warned West Bengal will burn if Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is arrested. Describing Banerjee as "agnikanya" (daughter of fire), Trinamool Lok Sabha member from Basirhat, Idris Ali warned that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not be able to handle her. "I am warning those who are behind this malicious campaign, including Narendra Modi's BJP, that if Mamata Banerjee is touched or arrested, entire Bengal will be on fire and many will have to die in this blaze," Ali said at a party meeting in his constituency, the video of which was aired by TV channels Wednesday.
