NRC in India threat to Bangladesh’s independence, sovereignty: Fakhrul
Staff Correspondent | Published: 00:18, Dec 15,2019
Bangladesh Nationalist Party of Bangladesh secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday said the National Register of Citizens of India was a threat to Bangladesh’s independence and sovereignty.
The BNP leader made the comment while responding to reporters after placing wreaths on behalf of his party at Martyred Intellectuals’ Memorial at Mirpur in the capital marking the Martyred Intellectuals’ Day.
Fakhrul’s comment came against the backdrop of Indian ministers’ comment that those dropped from Assam’s NRC were Bangladeshis and would be sent to Bangladesh and India’s Assam and Meghalaya are witnessing violent protests over NRC and recent passage of Citizenship (amendment) Bill by Indian parliament.
‘We, from the very beginning have been saying that we are very concerned and we think that NRC is a threat to our independence and sovereignty,’ he said.
He said the situation regarding NRC now would create instability and conflicting situation not only in Bangladesh but also in the entire sub-continent.
The BNP leader said such an initiative was taken to establish communal politics by destroying liberal democratic and non-communal politics.
Fakhrul said the Bangladesh government had destroyed the spirit of the war of independence and the dream of the freedom fighters to establish a democratic country. ‘We have been passing days amid lack of democracy and rights of people.’
He stressed the need to unite the whole nation when the party chief Khaleda Zia as well as thousands of party leaders and activists were in jail and the government was trying to stop democratic political parties and wipe out BNP.
He said BNP would speed up the movement and struggle following the path of the martyred intellectuals to protect the country’s independence and sovereignty as well as restore democracy in the country.
