Mamata Says BJP Labels Bengalis As 'Outsiders'
The Daily Guardian
|June 17, 2025
Two days after a mason from West Bengal working in Mumbai was detained and pushed into Bangladesh on suspicion of being an illegal alien, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday accused the BJP of targeting Bengali-speaking citizens in states ruled by the saffron party, labelling them as "Bangladeshis" despite having valid documents.
"You should be ashamed that you are labelling bona fide Indian citizens as Bangladeshis just because of the language they speak. One should feel proud to speak in Bengali, as well as Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi. If you ask me, I can speak in all these languages," Banerjee said, during the Question Hour in the Bengal Assembly.
"On one hand, you are branding Indians as Bangladeshis for their spoken word, and on the other, you are depriving these people, who hold voter ID, PAN, and Aadhaar cards, of the right to earn their livelihood in your states," she added.
