Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Saturday that her government would thwart any plans to create division among the people during the upcoming religious festivals.

“Our government would not allow anybody to divide the people of the state. Will will ensure the failure of all such plans,” Banerjee said while launching a community Durga Puja festival.

Her comments came a day after state Director General of Police Surajit Kar Purakayastha claimed to have got intelligence inputs about outsiders entering the state to foment violence and unrest.

“We have inputs that some people may come here to create violence and disrupt the peace. We are keeping an eye on them according to our intelligence input. If anyone tries to create any sort of unrest or disturbance we will take strict actions against them,” Purakayastha said after a high-level meeting on Friday.
