In North 24 Parganas, Himanta Biswa Sarma Defends Detention of ‘Bangladeshi Muslims’

Location: Bangaon, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal

Key themes from Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s campaign speech: “TMC asks me about detention camps in Assam. In the detention camps in Assam, there are no Hindus. We only spit on (thookta hu) Bangladeshi Muslims in these camps. I challenge the TMC to show me even a single Hindu in the detention camps, if they can, I will retire from politics. The CAA has been implemented in Assam. We do not consider Bangladeshi Hindus foreigners, but we give full ‘treatment’ to ‘Bangladeshi Muslims.’ Did Didi speak against atrocities on Hindus by Muslims in Bangladesh? She did not. So, Didi, when we ‘treat’ Bangladeshi Muslims, do not speak against us—we have that right.”
