Mamata Banerjee is playing politics of appeasement. Police is more active on Holi, Diwali and Ram Navami. Police does not do anything to uphold the law and decisions of SC and HC. All the anti-India forces are being given protection. Earlier, the CPM used to give protection, now Mamata Banerjee is giving it openly. Mamata Banerjee is providing protection to Jamaat Hefazat, extremists and all the anti-India forces.'
