She is well aware of it, but she still wants to give refuge to them for vote bank politics."She had given a 'BJP, quit India' call, but her real call is 'terrorists, welcome to India'," he told reporters in Kolkata.Banerjee had, last week, expressed concern over the plight of the Rohingya people and voiced support to the UN appeal to help them."We do support the UN appeal to help the Rohingya people. We believe that all commoners are not terrorists. We are really concerned," she had said in a tweet.
