Following West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s announcement of restricting Durga idol immersion because of Muharram, BJP Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Bagga had set out a heroic challenge that he will personally go to Bengal and take part in the idol immersion:
Maa Durga ki Murti Visarjan rokne wala Bengal me abhi koi paida nhi hua, dekhte hai kaise rokti hai Mamta Banerjee aur iski Sarkar https://t.co/8S8puezEjG

Is Saal Dashmi me mai Bengal rahunga aur dekhte hai Kaun rokta hai Maa Durga ki murti ke visarjan ko #AdharamKaNaashHo https://t.co/4qnBUlLRCs

However, on the day of immersion, when Bagga arrived at the Kolkata airport, he tweeted that he was detained by West Bengal Police and not allowed to enter the city. He said they the Police had orders from the CM’s office that they cannot let him enter the city:
Coward @MamataOfficial is sending me back to delhi from Airport. Police said we have order frm CM.

They did not provide any reason why he could not be allowed in the city while as a citizen of India he can move around freely, without any restrictions, to any part of India.
Bagga further said that this exposed the anti-Hindu face of the West Bengal CM and also proves that she was frustrated with the whole turn of events:
एयरपोर्ट पर मेरी गिरफ्तारी करके डिपोर्ट करना @MamataOfficial की हताशा को दिखाता है,ममता का हिन्दू विरोधी चेहरा एक बार फिर सामने आया ।
— Tajinder Bagga (@TajinderBagga) September 30, 2017
Twitterati came out in support of Bagga and said while Rohingyas, who have been accused of carrying out terrorist activities, are welcome in Bengal, an Indian citizen has to to be ‘deported’ from Bengal.
लोकतंत्र या वोटतंत्र !
मैडम ममता बनर्जी ने @TajinderBagga को बंगाल में घुसने नहीं दिया क्योंकि वो #Rohingaya मुस्लिम नहीं हैं !— Maj Surendra Poonia (@MajorPoonia) September 30, 2017
So basically, Rohingyas can stay in out country but out own @TajinderBagga Paaji cannot? Such shameless act of cowardice by @MamataOfficial

If @TajinderBagga was Bangladeshi or Rohingya, Mamata would have welcomed him with Aadhaar, Voter Card, Ration Card & even Birth Certificate

Of late, Mamata Banerjee has been treating BJP as the main opposition party in the state, as the communist parties have been on decline while the BJP has been on a rise.
