NRC is the only option to 'save' Bengali Hindus from Bangladeshi Muslims: RSS

Agencies

September 18, 2018

Kolkata, Sept 18: It is imperative to implement a citizen list, similar to Assam's National Register of Citizen (NRC) in West Bengal, to save Bengali Hindus from being annihilated, claimed Jishnu Basu, the Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh (RSS) West Bengal Secretary.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Basu claimed that due to rampant infiltration of Bangladeshi Muslims in West Bengal, Hindus in several districts of state are becoming minorities.

"The NRC is the only option to save the Bengali Hindus from annihilation from the state of West Bengal. Because of the infiltration, the demography of the several districts has changed in the last few decades. And if try to save the Bengali Hindus then NRC is the only option, otherwise the Bengali Hindus will become refugees and will be forced to migrate from West Bengal," Basu told ANI.

Basu also asserted that the NRC will also prove beneficial for Hindus who were tortured and forced out of Bangladesh.

"Bengali Hindus who have migrated to India from Bangladesh after facing a lot of atrocities, who have seen their mothers and sisters getting raped and their relatives being murdered, will be benefitted by the Citizenship Amendment Bill," he said.

He also underscored that the implementation of the NCR will also weed out elements, which threat the national security.

"Bordering districts are the most affected. This also involves national security. If you see the Bardhaman blast case, the person responsible for it, Shakeel Ahmed, was a Bangladesh infiltrator. So to save our country we need to stop such infiltrators, as they also put security of our country under threat," he said.

Basu said that the RSS is making small groups to make people aware about the benefits of the NRC.

"We have made small groups and now are making people in the bordering district aware about the NRC and Citizen Amendment Bill. We are trying to propagate this idea. We would like to make people aware. Also, we would try to send the message across the bureaucrats , the decision makers , the elders so that they can understand, the usefulness of NRC and the fact that Citizen Amendment Bill is the only option to save Bangladeshi Hindus who were forced to come to India," he said.

"We are a social organization, we can only spread the awareness, so that people make the demand for the same," he added.

Palghar lynching accused are not Muslims; BJP wrongly giving communal colour: Maharashtra govt

News Network

April 22,2020

Mumbai, Apr 22: Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Wednesday said none of the 101 people arrested in connection with the Palghar lynching case is a Muslim, and accused the opposition of giving a communal colour to the incident.

Terming the incident as unfortunate and a blot on humanity, Deshmukh in a Facebook address said this is not the time to play politics, and urged all to engage in collective efforts to defeat the deadly coronavirus.

Without naming any leader or party, Deshmukh, who is an NCP leader, said some people were seeing Mungerilal ke haseen sapne (referring to a fictional character from a TV show who daydreams) of returning to power in the state.

He said in the run up to the incident, a rumour did rounds in Palghar that some people were lifting children during night.

The entire episode is being investigated by a special inspector general and the probe has been handed over to the Crime Investigation Department (CID), he said.

"The police arrested 101 people in connection with the incident within eight hours after it took place. They had run into neighbouring jungles, but were caught by police. There is no Muslim brother among these 101 people, Deshmukh said.

The minister said someone was heard as saying oye bas (please stop) in the video clip of the incident, but it was allegedly distorted as Shoaib.

An attempt was made to give a political colour to the incident. And this is very unfortunate...communal politics is being played, Deshmukh alleged.

He said such politics is being played at a time when the entire state is engaged in a battle against coronavirus.

"It is not the time to play politics, but to fight coronavirus collectively. It is unfortunate some people are seeing 'Mungerilal ke haseen sapne' at this juncture, the minister said.

The incident took place on the night of April 16 when three men - two seers and their driver - were going from Mumbai in a car towards Surat in Gujarat to attend a funeral.

Their vehicle was stopped near a village in Palghar district where the three were dragged out of the car and beaten to death with sticks by a mob on suspicion that they were child-lifters.

The deceased were identified as Chikne Maharaj Kalpavrukshagiri (70), Sushilgiri Maharaj (35), and driver Nilesh Telgade (30).

The Maharashtra government earlier ordered a high- level probe into the incident, and two policemen from Palghar were suspended on Monday for alleged dereliction of duty.

Women's college issues dress code, prohibits burqa

Agencies

January 25,2020

Patna, Jan 25: JD Women's College in Patna has issued a direction to the students to follow the prescribed dress code on the campus while stating that wearing a 'burqa' in college is prohibited.

"All students have to come to college in the prescribed dress code, every day except on Saturday. Students are prohibited from wearing 'burqa' in college", reads a notice signed by the Principal and Proctor of the college.

The college administration has also imposed a fine of Rs. 250 for violation of the norm.

Comments

I think this college management will allow girl students to wear tight jeans + t-shair and miniskirts but is not allowing a girl to cover her body. Are we in ancient days where humans had no dress to cover themselves or in the time of Nair kings in kerala who restricted ladies of low caste from covering their chest.
