among Boule on alleged harassment of Bengali speaking people In BJP -ruled states, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Saturday accused the BJP of threatening people with “harassment” to maintain its mother tongue.
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma hit back the TMC supremo of “encouraging illegal encroachment by a particular community” of “compromising the future of Bengal”.
While accusing Bengalis as illegal Bangladeshi or Rohingya on BJP-led governments, Banerjee recently led a protest march in Kolkata under the backdrop of large-scale expulsion in Assam, which affected most of the Bengali-speaking people. Sarma had said that the purpose of the decision was to “protect demographic changes”.
Banerjee said on Saturday on Saturday, “The second most spoken language in the country, the bungalow is also the second most spoken language in Assam. To threaten citizens, who want to peacefully respect all languages and religions, are discriminatory and unconstitutional with oppression to maintain their own mother tongue.” “This divisive agenda of BJP in Assam has crossed all borders and people of Assam will fight back.”
Sarma launched a reversal and in a post on X accused Bengal CM of indulging in politics of trivial at the cost of national integrity. He said that the government is not fighting “our own people”, but is opposing the ongoing, uncontrolled Muslim infiltration from across the border, which has already caused a dangerous demographic change. “

“In many districts, Hindus are now on the verge of becoming a minority in their own land. It is not a political story – it is a reality. Even the Supreme Court of India has asked such infiltration as external aggression. And still, when we get up to protect our land, culture and identity, you do not do it politically.
“When we are decisively working to preserve the identity of Assam, you, Didi has compromised on the future of Bengal – to encourage illegal encroachment by a particular community, to please a religious community for vote banks, and to remain silent as a border infiltration eaten in national integrity – all to live in power.”
