Speaking to the media in Delhi, Banerjee said that Bengalis are being insulted across the country, especially in BJP-ruled states. He claimed that Bengalis are being discriminated against in these states and many are being forcibly sent to Bangladesh.
Targeting BJP while mentioning historical contributions
Kalyan Banerjee said that some people from Gujarat want to establish their dominance over the country. He said that Bengalis played a leading role in the freedom struggle, while Gujarat's presence was limited at that time. He stated that today, under the leadership of the BJP, efforts are being made to sideline Bengalis.
"Bengalis have always been the backbone of the country. No one can deny the role of Bengalis in the freedom struggle. BJP-ruled states want to remove us by calling us Bangladeshis. This is not just an insult but also an insult to historical truth," Banerjee said.
