BJP Unleashing 'Linguistic Terrorism' on Bengalis: Didi
The Morning Standard
|July 22, 2025
SETTING the Trinamool Congress' strategy for the West Bengal Assembly elections in 2026, party chief Mamata Banerjee said on Monday that "harassment" of Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states won't be tolerated and directed her party workers to launch a "language movement" on July 27 which will continue till the polls are over.
She also called for ousting the BJP-led government at the Centre after 2026. "We will get more seats in 2026 and then Delhi will be our next target. We will have to remove the BJP from power," she said, addressing the TMC's Martyrs' Day rally in Kolkata.
"Our fight for identity and language will continue till the BJP is defeated, in the state and at the Centre. From July 27, we will launch a language movement against the BJP's terrorism on Bengali language. The movement will start on Nanoor Divas in West Bengal, protesting attacks on Bengalis and will continue till Assembly polls next year," she said.
