Hyderabad, Telangana: AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi says, “As far as our party is concerned, we condemn what happened to Deepu Chandra Das and Amrit Mandal, and we support whatever steps the Government of India is taking to ensure that the relationship with Bangladesh remains stronger.” “Bangladesh was created on secular Bangla nationalism, and there are 20 million minorities who are not Muslims who live in Bangladesh…I sincerely hope that the tensions don’t escalate between India and Bangladesh, and whatever is happening in Bangladesh in terms of what happened to the sad incident of Dipu Chandra Das and Amrit Mandal is contrary to their own constitutional mandate, and I hope that Mr Yunus will ensure that all the minorities living in Bangladesh are protected. But at the same time, we must remember that the stability in Bangladesh is very important for security of India, especially Northeast. A popular revolution has happened in Bangladesh, and we hope that when the elections are held in February, the relationship between India and Bangladesh will improve for good. And we must also remember that ISI, China and all these forces which are inimical to India are now in Bangladesh…But at the same time, please understand that we cannot forget what is happening in our country. On December 24, a labourer from West Bengal was lynched in Odisha’s Sambalpur. A tribal boy doing MBA in Uttarakhand was beaten up, Angel Chakma. He died…So these are all clear examples of how when the rule of law breaks and majority-run politics overtakes everything, these lynchings happen, which we have to condemn.”
