West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee assured social security to all the migrant workers wishing to return to the state on Monday. He said, “There is no need to live in Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh or Rajasthan.
I will not be able to feed you ‘Pitha’ or ‘Payesh’, but if we eat a bread, we will ensure that you also get a bread. You can live here in peace. “Before March, the first ‘Bhasha Movement’ of Trinamool in Santiniketan said,” You have a police helpline, contact us, tell us when you want to return, we will bring you back. “
Mamta Banerjee started language movement
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee started the ‘language movement’ on Monday, intensifying her aggressive campaign before next year’s assembly elections. Mamta accused the Center and the Election Commission of plotting to ‘implement the NRC’ from the back door and ‘linguistic terrorism’ against Bangla -speaking migrants. She launched the statewide ‘Bangla Language Movement’ from Bolpur, a cultural site established by Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore, and announced that she will “die, but will not leave her language.”
He pledged to eradicate Bengali identity under the guise of voter list amendment, to deprive the poor from the franchise or stand out against the efforts to take out the migrants. He alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -led Central Government, in collusion with the Election Commission, is targeting minorities, other backward classes, poor and Bangla -speaking voters in the name of a special brief revision in the voter list, so that the procedure like National Citizen Register (NAC) can be removed from the voter list.
Mamta Banerjee’s warning on sir
Mamta challenged the Election Commission to remove the names of legitimate voters and warned that such steps will have “suffering results”. Leading a rally of Trinamool Congress supporters and Bangla migrants who returned to the state, Banerjee said, “We will stop this conspiracy to endanger our existence in the name of linguistic terror and to implement NRC from the back door.”
As long as I am alive, NRC will not let it be implemented
He warned, “As long as I am alive, NRC will not be implemented in Bengal. I will not let the detained camp be built here. If you try to remove the name from Bengal… then its consequences will have to be suffered. Are you ready to face the retaliation of our mothers, sisters and our cultural groups when they rise against you in a non -violent manner? During this time, he was accompanied by ministers, senior party leaders and local elected representatives.
The Chief Minister said, “We do not have enmity with any language. I am not against any language. I believe that unity in diversity is the foundation of our nation. But if you try to erase our language and culture, we will oppose it peacefully, with full force and politically. ”He called upon the Trinamool Congress workers to be ready for the new movement from July 28 last week and described it as the second ‘language movement’. He compared it to the historic protest in Dhaka (erstwhile East Pakistan) in 1952, where students sacrificed their lives demanding to recognize Bangla as the official language of the then Pakistan.
Mamta’s serious allegation on Election Commission
The United Nations later declared International Mother Language Day in memory of that struggle. Mamta accused the Election Commission of acting at the behest of the Center. He said, “A former minister of the BJP government is now trying to remove the names of voters from the voter list to help his friend in the double engine government. I challenge them to remove legitimate voters in the name of voter list amendment. We will not allow them to make Bengalis homeless in our own country. ”
He said, “I warn the Election Commission – if you dare to remove the name from the voter list of Bengal, then you will hear Chhau dance, Dhamasa -Madol, Shankha, Jhanj and the drums of war. Have you heard such voices before? We will tell you this. ”Hearing this speech of Mamta, there was a wave of excitement among the people present there. He indirectly warned the state block level officers (BLOs), saying, “Remember, BLO is the government employees of this state. Do not disturb people in the name of voter list revision. ”
Never forget the mother tongue and motherland
Voter list also works as an officer of the Election Commission during the revision process. Mamta, referring to the cultural and historical heritage of Bengal, urged people to never forget their identity (pride), mother tongue and motherland. He said, “You can forget everything, but you should not forget your roots.” If Bengal can bring independence and lead social reforms, he can also fight for his existence. ”The Chief Minister appealed to Bangla -speaking migrants being allegedly tortured.
Mamta’s plan to return Bengalis
He said, “We are all requesting to return to the harassed Bengali migrants. We have already prepared a plan to help those who return to settle, secure livelihood and get their children enrolled in school. We will give you full support through police and administration. Banerjee asked a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and questioned, “When you travel to Arab countries and embrace the sheikhs, do you ask them whether they are Hindus or Muslims?” Did you ask the President of Maldives to embrace the President of Maldives and donate Rs 5,000 crore to him, while Bengal was not given his right? ”
Banerjee said, “I do not accept the imagination of a nation that kills the migrant only because of speaking Bangla.” The Chief Minister questioned the alleged discrimination and said that Bangla is the fifth language in the world and the second most spoken language in Asia. He said, “Nevertheless, Bengalis are being tortured in various states. Why this hate? If Bengal can accept 1.5 crore migrant workers from other states and give shelter them, then why can’t you accept 22 lakh Bengali migrants working elsewhere? ‘
‘Jai Bengal’ and ‘Jai Hind’
Bolpur protest march was not just political but was filled with emotions and symbols. Mamta wore her well-known cotton saree and put the traditional scarf of Vishwabharati in Santiniketan. At the end of his speech, he called the Trinamool workers to spread the ‘Bhasha movement’ in each district, raising the slogans of ‘Jai Bengal’ and ‘Jai Hind’. He warned and said, “You have to fight these divisive forces on the streets. If you try to make us stateless by stealing our addresses, then we will ensure that you do not have any state. ”
