KolKata, Nov 30: BJP supremo Amit Shah took another dig at West Bengal Chief minister Mamata Banerjee by stopping mid-speech when the azan sounded from a nearby mosque.

"Let us stop. We don't want to give Mamata any excuse," he said, taking a break for almost six minutes.

Muslims form 27% of Bengal's voters, who had supported the Trinamool Congress in the last assembly elections in 2011.

The BJP president was speaking at a rally in Kolkata's Victoria House after days of tussle with the Bengal chief minister over the venue, from where Ms Banerjee addresses her party's annual rally on Martyrs' day - July 21.

The state police had refused permission for the rally and the BJP had finally got relief from the Calcutta High Court.

Mr Shah had launched a frontal attack on the chief minister over the Saradha scam, black money and the Burdwan blast.

Weaving in all three in a single thrust, he said the money from the Saradha chit fund, which was black money, was used to fund the Burdwan blast.

Indicating that Ms Banerjee was also sympathetic to the cause of the terrorists of Muslim-majority Bangladesh, Mr Shah said, "Mamata Didi you are not the chief minister of Bangladesh, the people of Bengal had voted you their chief minister.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
