Whenever there was a bloody rebellion in Bangladesh, the government went to Bengal.

Call it just a coincidence or something else… But whenever there was a major political crisis or insurgency in Bangladesh, the West Bengal government faced a problem. The crisis in Bangladesh shook the roots of two Chief Ministers of Bengal, while the crisis there gave the state a Chief Minister like Jyoti Basu. A political earthquake in Bangladesh after 53 years has brought Bengali politics back to a crossroads. Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who handed over the issue to the central government, on one side, state opposition leader Subendu Adhikari, who sought asylum for Bangladeshi Hindus, on the other side. Historically, when the fire of insurgency flared up in Bangladesh, its heat was palpable in Bengal. A crisis broke out in 1964 and the government left in 1967. In 1964, a stalemate broke out in Bangladesh and then East Pakistan over religious and political issues. With the help of Pakistan Army, Hindus and Bangladeshi freedom fighters started to be killed. People started migrating in fear. It is said that 6 lakh people took refuge in India at that time. Most of the Bangladeshi refugees stayed in different parts of Bengal. At that time, there was a Congress government in Bengal, with Prabul Chandra Sen as the Chief Minister. In 1967 elections were held in Bengal and the Congress suffered a crushing defeat. For the first time non-Congress parties came to power in the state. Ajay Mukherjee became the Chief Minister. Interestingly, Congress lost in Bengal while it won unilaterally across the country. Refugees from Bangladesh were the biggest reason why the opposition formed the government. The opposition made it an issue throughout the election and included it in their 18-point programme. Opposition parties said that the Bengal government has failed to work for the refugees and this has led to anarchy in many places including the capital Kolkata. Along with the refugee issue, the elevation of Ajay Mukherjee to the post of Chief Minister also involved internal Congress politics. Mukherjee himself came from Congress politics. After the election, he formed post-election alliances with 14 parties. Basu became the Chief Minister after raising the issue of refugees in 1971 with the Bangladesh Liberation Movement and the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975. People migrated in search of peace. During this period also many people migrated from Bangladesh and came to West Bengal. It is said that around 1 crore refugees came to India from Bengal then. According to a report at the time, about 3 lakh refugees were living in 25 refugee camps in Bengal. Kolkata, Medinipur and the districts bordering Bangladesh have become the base of these refugees. Congress came to power in 1971 under the name of Bangladesh Movement and lost in 1977 under the name of Bangladesh. During this period, Siddharth Shankar Ray, close to Indira Gandhi, was the chief minister of the state. In fact, at that time, the leader of the opposition, Jyoti Basu, laid siege from the assembly to the road for the refugee issue. The refugee issue added fuel to the issues like land reform, Naxalbari, corruption and democracy which were already dominating the politics of Bengal at that time. Basu said poverty and inflation are increasing in Bengal due to refugees. According to Basu, the government could not prevent and provide good facilities to the refugees. Basu's party CPM announced in its manifesto that it would provide better facilities to the refugees. The result was seen in the elections and the CPM registered a one-sided victory in West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. Jyoti Basu became the Chief Minister of Bengal from the CPM party. But it is true that in 1979, when the Left Front was in power in Bengal, the largest attack on refugees was carried out in Marichapi. The Inside Story of Mamata's Calling and Subendu's Statement: After the Bangladesh coup incident, the Chief Minister of Bengal left all responsibility to the central government. Talking to reporters in Kolkata, the Bengal chief minister said, “I will accept whatever decision the central government takes.” Mamata has asked the ministers not to say anything about it. At the same time, Bengal Assembly Opposition Leader Subendu Adhikari has made attacks on Hindus an issue in Bangladesh. He said that 1 crore Hindus are waiting. The governor and chief minister should talk to the central government to bring those people to India. The issue of Hindu refugees is considered a critical issue in Bengal. If the government completely rejects the issue, there is a risk of polarization in the upcoming elections. If we try to bring them, it will affect the finances and resources of the government. In such a scenario, economic chaos may increase. This is the reason Mamata Banerjee took up the issue before the Center after Subendu's statement. 9 districts of Bengal bordering Bangladesh, covering 2200 km. 9 districts of West Bengal share border with neighboring Bangladesh. It includes districts like Cooch Behar, Dinajpur, Darjeeling, Nadia, Murshidabad etc. West Bengal shares about 2217 km of international border with Bangladesh. This is more than other states. The boundary between the two countries is based on the Radcliffe map. The Border Security Force is responsible for the border security of Bangladesh and Bangladesh.
