He recommends she needs to be scheduled under the National Security Act.
New Delhi: Amid mayhem over Delhi authorities apparently describing Bengali as Bangladeshi language in an interaction note, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader on Monday early morning struck out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, recommending that she be scheduled under National Security Act (NSA) for apparently prompting linguistic dispute.
He argued that her response to the whole concern was “misplaced and dangerously inflammatory”while including that Delhi Police’s letter does not explain Bangla as a ‘Bangladeshi’ language.
“Mamata Banerjee’s reaction to Delhi Police referring to the language used by infiltrators as ‘Bangladeshi’ is not just misplaced, it is dangerously inflammatory. Nowhere in the Delhi Police letter is Bangla or Bengali described as a ‘Bangladeshi’ language. To claim otherwise and call upon Bengalis to rise against the Centre is deeply irresponsible. Mamata Banerjee should be held accountable–perhaps even under the National Security Act–for inciting linguistic conflict,” Malviya published on X.
He stated that the authorities were “absolutely right” in describing the language as Bangladeshi in the context of recognizing moles given that the term concentrates on dialects, syntax, and speech patterns that are various from Bangla spoken in India.
“The official language of Bangladesh is not only phonologically different, but also includes dialects like Sylheti that are nearly incomprehensible to Indian Bengalis,” Malviya stated.
“Delhi Police is absolutely right in referring to the language as Bangladeshi in the context of identifying infiltrators. The term is being used to describe a set of dialects, syntax, and speech patterns that are distinctly different from the Bangla spoken in India. The official language of Bangladesh is not only phonologically different, but also includes dialects like Sylheti that are nearly incomprehensible to Indian Bengalis,” he included.
Malviya even more mentioned that Delhi cops’s usage of “Bangladeshi language” was a shorthand for linguistic markers utilized to profile supposed prohibited immigrants from the neighbouring nation.
“There is, in fact, no language called ‘Bengali’ that neatly covers all these variants. “Bengali” denotes ethnicity, not linguistic uniformity. So when the Delhi Police uses “Bangladeshi language,” it is a shorthand for the linguistic markers used to profile illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, not a commentary on Bengali as spoken in West Bengal,” he stated.
His remarks followed Banerjee on Sunday implicated the Delhi Police of explaining Bengali as a “Bangladeshi language”calling it outrageous, anti-national and unconstitutional.
Sharing a letter by Delhi Police on X, Banerjee stated, “See now how Delhi police under the direct control of the Ministry of Home, Government of India, is describing Bengali as ‘Bangladeshi’ language! Bengali, our mother tongue, the language of Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda, the language in which our National Anthem and the National Song (the latter by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay) are written, the language in which crores of Indians speak and write, the language which is sanctified and recognised by the Constitution of India, is now described as a Bangladeshi language!!”
Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Mohammed (Md) Salim likewise trained weapons on Delhi Police, calling it “illiterate”published on X, “Will the ‘illiterate’ [?]Delhi Police tell us what’s this ‘Bangladeshi language’? Moreover, why Delhi Police has failed to make their officers aware of the 8th Schedule of our Constitution.”
