What did Mamata Banerjee say?

During the rally, Mamata Banerjee mentioned the controversial Osman Hadi murder case in Bangladesh. Without naming anyone, she said, "The STF arrested a major murderer from Bangladesh, which caused a huge uproar in Bangladesh. I'm not talking about another country. The people I'm talking about come to Bengal from Meghalaya. Our STF arrests them when they come here. The Home Minister himself is saying... I didn't speak for so long, but today the atrocities have crossed all limits, so I'm speaking out. He said... You tell the Bengal Police that this matter shouldn't go out. This is for the country. Who got the murder done, whose names came up... I know everything."
