In an unusual instance Trinamul Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee has been conspicuous by her silence in sharp contrast to other Opposition leaders over the Narendra Modi government’s revocation of Article 370 of the Constitution which had given a special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
While her party MP Derek O’Brien slammed the Centre in the Rajya Sabha in Parliament on Monday, Ms Banerjee, who has been fierce critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and led the attack on him on a variety of national issues starting from demonetisation in recent times, has so far refrained herself from making any comment against the BJP government however.
