During an event distributing land ownership rights to Hindu families displaced from Bangladesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath claimed that the previous government obscured local identities by naming villages like “Miyapur” despite “not a single Miya” living there, and announced it would be renamed “Rabindra Nagar.” He alleged that the families were forced to flee after “darinde” (beasts) took over their homes and continued to target Hindus in Bangladesh, adding that neither Pakistan nor Bangladesh accepted them, and that only India provided refuge. He defended the Citizenship Amendment Act, criticised protests against it, and asserted that beneficiaries have now become rightful landowners. He further stated that no locality should carry names linked to what he described as “symbols of slavery,” and, referring to the Partition, alleged that the creation of Pakistan led to a “massacre” of Hindus and Sikhs, claiming similar conditions persist in Bangladesh.
