Raking up another controversy, BJP West Bengal chief Dilip Ghosh on Sunday said that 50 lakh Muslim infiltrators will be identified and "chased out of the country" if needed.

This comes as the Bengal BJP chief was attacking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee on the issue of appeasement.

He said, "Fifty lakh Muslim infiltrators will be identified, if needed they will be chased out of the country. Firstly their names will be removed from voters' list then Didi [CM Mamata Banerjee] can't appease anyone."

This comes after Dilip Ghosh stoked a controversy a few days ago when he said that people damaging public property should be "shot like dogs".

"Who do they think the public property that they are destroying belongs to? Their father? Public property belongs to the taxpayers. You [Mamata] do not say anything because they are your voters. In Assam and Uttar Pradesh, our government has shot these people like dogs," Dilip Ghosh said.

He said, "The governments of Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Karnataka did the right thing by opening fire on these anti-national elements [during anti-CAA protests]."

Dilip Ghosh, in fact, on Sunday doubled down on his remark and further brazened it out saying that such people "will never be spared".

"Those who vandalise public property in the state should be shot dead. I had said it in a speech and they [opposition] created a lot of ruckus about it. I will repeat the same thing that those who vandalize public property should be shot dead," Ghosh said addressing a public gathering in North 24 Parganas.

"What should be done with these infiltrators who vandalize public property? Should they be given Prasad? Those who vandalized public property will be identified. First, they will be shot and then bombed. Nobody will be spared," Dilip Ghosh said.

The MP from Kharagpur was attending an event in support of the newly amended citizenship law.
