Help, vote bank or something! Why Didi's 'Mamta' showered on the people of Bangladesh?
The country has been engulfed in violence after Sheikh Hasina's government announced reservation in government jobs for the families of freedom fighters. 133 people have died so far. In Bangladesh, pro-Pakistani Islamist militancy has made a resurgence since the 1971 liberation war, while the Islamic fundamentalist force Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMP) has completely taken over the student movement. What started as a student movement against reservation has now turned into a movement against the Hasina government. India is a neighboring country of Bangladesh. There are thousands of Indians and students there. The Ministry of External Affairs has issued an advisory regarding Bangladesh and all facilities are being provided to returning students and Indians. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that External Affairs Minister Jaishankar is monitoring the situation in Bangladesh. India provides all assistance to the returning students, but they have termed the matter entirely an internal matter of Bangladesh. India fully adheres to the 'watch and wait' policy on the issue of violence in Bangladesh. Why does Mamata want to give shelter to Bangladeshi people? On Sunday, apart from the Indian government's stand, a major statement came out from West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee. Addressing a Trinamool Congress rally in Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee announced that she was ready to provide shelter to the destitute people of the neighboring country if they sought refuge in Bangladesh. There is a proposal from the United Nations (UN) that if someone is in trouble, neighboring areas can help. Mamata Banerjee's comments have been widely discussed in political and diplomatic circles as the central government has remained silent on the violence in Bangladesh as an internal matter. In the central government system, although the central government often comments on international affairs, it is Mamata Banerjee who comes forward to comment on this matter. After Mamata Banerjee's statement on Bangladesh, Trinamool Congress MP and Trinamool Congress Leader in Lok Sabha Sudip Bandopadhyay's comment has come to light. Sudeep Bandopadhyay said that Mamata Didi has a good relationship with the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Both can talk to each other if need be…” But the BJP has reacted strongly to Mamata Banerjee's comment. BJP raised questions on Mamata Banerjee's statement on odd days – We will not allow Hindu refugees who came to India to escape religious persecution to apply for citizenship and get their due rights under CAA. BJP has questioned Mamata Banerjee's comment. On the one hand, Mamata Banerjee says she will not allow Hindu refugees who came to India to escape religious persecution to apply for citizenship under the CAA, tweeted BJP leader Amit Malviya. If they insist, we will ask illegal Rohingyas who vote TMC to burn trains, block roads and kill people. Mamata Banerjee should know that West Bengal is an integral part of India. Millions of revolutionaries have sacrificed their blood to secure a homeland for Hindu Bengalis. A sitting Chief Minister cannot speak of such treason. She should not be underestimated pic.twitter.com/3aDXeCgxV7 — Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) July 21, 2024 Mamata Banerjee now says Bangladeshis are welcome in India. Who gave Mamata Banerjee the right to welcome anyone in India? Immigration and citizenship are the sole jurisdiction of the Centre. States have no rights. It was part of the ill-fated plan of the Indian National Congress coalition to settle illegal Bangladeshis from Bengal to Jharkhand so that they could win elections. Is the vote bank doing politics, Mama? Mamata Banerjee really wants to turn West Bengal into West Bangladesh, says Dr Mohit Roy, author of the book 'West Bangladesh' and leader of the refugee movement. Their slogan is Jai Bangla… this is the slogan of Bangladesh, whose original aim was to separate East Bengal from Pakistan. Now Mamata Banerjee is talking about opening the doors of the state to the people of Bangladesh. It is beyond their authority and Bangladesh is a sovereign country and its country's international policy is decided by the central government. He said that Mamata Banerjee actually wants to strengthen her vote bank in the state by raising the Bangladesh issue. First the leftist parties and now Mamata Banerjee's party have been supporting Muslim infiltration from Bangladesh, and behind this statement is the intention to support the Muslim vote bank. He said that 30 lakh people were killed by Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. At that time, a large number of refugees from Bangladesh came to India, and the Indian government gave them asylum, and even after that, infiltration from Bangladesh continues into India, along with Bangladeshis, Rohingyas also come to this country and Trinamool. The Congress government and their leaders are giving them shelter and now Mamata Banerjee wants to further strengthen this vote bank by talking about opening the doors to the people of Bangladesh again. Senior journalist Prabhakarmani Tiwari says that West Bengal and Bangladesh have a close relationship, West Bengal and Bangladesh have a very close relationship. Before the partition of the country, both were parts of one state. People of Bangladesh and West Bengal also sympathize with each other. The people of both the countries have mutual relations in their country. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the West Bengal Chief Minister have a cordial relationship. In such a situation, Mamata Banerjee might have respectfully spoken about giving asylum to the people of Bangladesh. As far as infiltration from Bangladesh is concerned. It continues, for which both the Central and State Governments are equally responsible. Does Mamata want to be the second Indira? Bangladesh affairs expert Partha Mukhopadhyay says Mamata Banerjee wants to further strengthen her image in national politics over the violence in Bangladesh. After the violence in Bangladesh, there was no talk of people coming to this country, but Mamata Banerjee came forward and offered to help. At a rally in Kolkata on Sunday, Mamata Banerjee's minister Arup Biswas called him India's Sun of Liberation. Earlier, during the 1971 Bangladesh War, the Congress had described Indira Gandhi as Asia's Sun of Liberation. At that time, the then prime minister late Indira Gandhi fully supported the freedom fighters of Bangladesh, with her help, Pakistan was defeated and Bangladesh became an independent country. From this statement it is clear that Mamata Banerjee is trying to project herself as a national leader. Let us tell you what Mamata Banerjee said in this rally that the NDA government is not stable and this government can topple anytime.
