Meanwhile, the foundation day celebration of the student wing of Trinamool Congress was organized on Wednesday. During this, Mamata Banerjee also attacked the BJP. She said that those trying to spread unrest in the state should not forget that its consequences will be far-reaching.
Mamata said that BJP should remember that if Bengal is burning, then Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and even Delhi will burn. Banerjee further said that West Bengal is not Bangladesh. Some people are thinking that it is Bangladesh. So remember. I love Bangladesh. They speak like us, their culture is like ours but Bangladesh is a different country and India is a different country. It is worth noting that in the past, instability was created in Bangladesh due to the student movement. Nearly a thousand people were killed in these demonstrations. Then the then PM Sheikh Hasina had to resign and flee the country. There is currently an interim government there.
Bangladesh and West Bengal
Many people are linking the protests that erupted in Bangladesh to West Bengal. Once these two areas used to be one state. Both are Bengali speaking areas. Both have the same culture. In such a situation, the public outrage over the recent rape and murder incident in West Bengal is being linked to the Bangladesh incident. For a long time, the politics of West Bengal has been divided into two factions.
It is rarely seen that the common people of West Bengal come out on the streets to protest against any incident. But, when they come out on the streets, a wind of change of power is seen in the state. Mamata also targeted PM Narendra Modi in this meeting. She alleged that PM Modi’s party is spreading unrest in the state. She said that if there is an attempt to set fire in Bengal, Delhi will catch fire. We will shake your chair.
