Amidst the violence in Bangladesh, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has made a big statement. Addressing a gathering organized in front of Victoria House on the occasion of Martyr’s Day rally in Kolkata on Sunday, Mamata Banerjee assured full cooperation to the people of Bangladesh. She said that the doors of West Bengal are always open for them.
Mamata Banerjee said that we should not provoke matters related to the current situation in Bangladesh. If Bangladeshis knock on our door, we will give them shelter.
Mamata Banerjee, referring to the United Nations resolution on refugees, said that I assure full cooperation to those residents of Bengal whose relatives are stranded in violence-affected Bangladesh.
If they knock on Bengal’s door, I will help
She said, “If helpless people knock on Bengal’s door, I will help.” On this day, Mamata Banerjee said, “If your family is in Bangladesh, some have gone to study, some cannot come back for treatment, if any help is needed, we will do it.”
She said, “I cannot talk about Bangladesh. Because it is a different country. Whatever has to be said, the Indian government will say it. But I can say this much that if helpless people knock at the door of Bengal, we will definitely give them shelter, because there is a proposal of the United Nations. If there is a refugee, the surrounding area will give them shelter.”
Expressed concern over violence in Bangladesh
Referring to Assam, she said, “For example, there was a disturbance in Assam. They stayed in Alipurduar for a long time. I also went to meet them. But I appeal to you that we should not get provoked or get into any tension regarding Bangladesh. We have sorrow and compassion for those whose blood was shed. We are also keeping an eye.
Meanwhile, when Mamata Banerjee was speaking on the stage, big news came from Bangladesh. The Supreme Court of Bangladesh rejected the High Court’s decision to restore reservation. The order said, “From now on, 93 percent of government jobs will be recruited on the basis of merit.” The remaining 7 percent will remain reserved. 5 percent of this is for the families of freedom fighters. So naturally, a large section of informed circles considers this decision as a victory for anti-quota activists.
