Jain met Vineet Narayan, the journalist who exposed the hawala
On reaching Delhi, Mamata Banerjee met senior journalist Vineet Narayan on Monday evening at the residence of her nephew and Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Banerjee. Journalist Vineet Narayan had exposed the Jain diary in 1995-96 through his video magazine Kalachakra, in which there was mention of giving lakhs of rupees to senior leaders through hawala. Recently, Mamta had accused West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar of taking money through hawala. It is believed that his meeting with Vineet Narayan was in this regard.
According to sources, his schedule of meeting with opposition leaders has gone into turmoil. Mamta’s program to meet opposition leaders on Tuesday has come to a standstill due to the ban on entry of any person other than MPs in the Central Hall of Parliament due to the Kovid-19 protocol.
Mamta Banerjee, who arrived in Delhi during the monsoon session of Parliament, can also meet leaders of other opposition parties.

Earlier, Mamata Banerjee told reporters that the Prime Minister has given her an appointment this week. However, Banerjee refused to share the details of the proposed meeting with the Prime Minister.
At the same time, targeting Banerjee’s Delhi visit, West Bengal BJP unit president Dilip Ghosh alleged that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is facing criticism over the fake vaccination camp case, post-poll violence and other issues and to avoid it, she Wants to stay out of state for a few days. He claimed that Mamata Banerjee’s attempt to unite the opposition parties would not be successful.
