AGARTALA, July 25 (TIWN): A protest was staged in Tripura on Wednesday against the ongoing NRC at Assam.
‘Amra Bangali’, a political organization in Tripura has sharply attacked the BJP Govt both at Central and State alleging a National unrest is going on against Bengalis.
A massive protest was staged at Sakuntala road in Agartala voicing against the Tipraland proposal in Tripura and Ongoing NRC in Assam.
Amra Bangali also said, there is nothing called soil of son as in 16th century Assamees also came from Arakan, now known as Myanmar.
Quoting former Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru, Amra Bangali activists claimed that it was said during partition that whenever minority from East Pakistan will enter in India, they will be welcomed.
The agitators also raised voice saying, ‘If leaving mother-land for survival is sin, who will punish country dividers ?
Amra Bangali leader Haripada Debnath said, “We are Bengali and we are here for the sake of our community. But in the post independence period in India, Bengalis have been tortures decades after decades”.
“We have always been betrayed. In Assam, already the Govt there stanched voting rights of 1 crore 49 lakh Bengalis. They have been kept in detention camp in miserable condition, which has hit the human rights. On next 30th July they will make the final list in plan to remove Bengalis from India”, he said.
“In the next step Govt has planned to remove above 1.50 crores of Bengalis from the country. So, for that CRPF, Armies have been deployed. On yesterday it has been revealed that Central Govt has funded Assam Govt to develop the detention camp of the Bengalis, whereas PM Modi before the Election promised that he will sort out the citizenship problems of the Bengalis in Shilchar and in Guwahati. But now it’s just the opposite which is happening”, he told media.
Haripada Debnath further blasted the BJP Govt terming it as a broker of the Hinduism, saying, “Today we are bound to say that”.
“Here in Tripura, the state Govt is helping the separatists to make a land for tribals with two-third land. At West Bengal also, in the name of Gorkhaland, BJP is playing dividing policy”, Debnath told media.
“Since Mughal era to Post Colonialism era, Bengalis are the highest sufferer. We are strange ! It’s going beyond tolerance….now perhaps except blood shedding protest we left with no other option”, Debnath added.
Ahead of the protest rally, the party has also warned ‘bloodshed’ protest if necessary.
