'In Bengal, the way atrocities are being committed against Hindus, the migration of Hindus is happening. Mamata Banerjee, through her appeasement politics, is oppressing Hindus. Such govt should be immediately dismissed, and President's Rule should be imposed. We appeal to our Prime Minister Modi to immediately save our Hindu brothers,' he told ANI.
