The new interim government of Bangladesh has objected to the ongoing rhetoric on its citizens in India. It is reported that Dhaka has also contacted the Indian government in this regard. It has also been said that leaders should refrain from making comments against Bangladeshi citizens. During this time, questions have also been raised on the statement of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in which he accused the Jharkhand government of increasing infiltration.
According to the Times of India report, the interim government of Bangladesh has handed over a note to the Indian Deputy High Commissioner in Dhaka. According to the report, through the note, Bangladesh has expressed ‘serious objection, grief and great displeasure’. It is reported that Dhaka has asked the Indian government to advise its leaders to avoid making ‘objectionable and unacceptable’ statements against Bangladeshis.
According to the report, the interim government of Bangladesh has said that the comments made by responsible leaders against the citizens of the neighbouring country undermine the sense of mutual respect and understanding between the two countries.
what was the matter
Shah had accused the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led coalition government of promoting illegal infiltration for vote bank politics and said if attention is not paid, these immigrants will become a majority in the state in 25-30 years. He said on Friday, “There is no place for infiltrators in the state. They are marrying our daughters, grabbing land and destroying the rich tribal culture and heritage. We will drive out every single one of them…”
He had claimed that the tribal population in Santhal Pargana has come down from 44 percent to 28 percent due to infiltration. He mentioned many scams including the Rs 1000 crore scam in Sahibganj, the army land scam and the paper leak scam. He had said, ‘The BJP government will hang upside down those who leaked the recruitment exam paper.’
