During a BJP membership drive, actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty made inflammatory remarks about political violence in West Bengal, stating he would “chop Muslims and and bury them in the ground” in reference to political opposition.

Surprisingly, Home Minister Amit Shah was present at the event, where Chakraborty urged BJP supporters to join the party and fight vigorously to secure Bengal in the 2026 election.
The comments have drawn criticism from Trinamool Congress leaders, who denounced Chakraborty’s rhetoric as divisive and inflammatory.
In the widely circulated video, Chakraborty said: “A leader says there are 70 per cent Muslims and 30 per cent Hindus (and) that he will ‘cut’ and throw them in the Bhagirathi… I thought the Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) would say something. She didn’t.. so now I am saying, we will chop them (up) and bury them in the ground..”
His speech was met with enthusiastic applause and chants of “Jai Shri Ram” from the crowd, amplifying the impact of his words.
