[Dhaka Tribune] Senior Awami League leader Sheikh Selim has urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee not to shelter Bangladeshi "terrorists." He also requested her and the Indian government to take necessary steps so that the Bangladeshi "forces of Evil and terrorists" could not get any scope to operate in their country. Selim, also Presidium member of the ruling AL, made the statement at an unscheduled discussion in parliament. Referring to the recent remarks by CPM leader of West Bengal Biman Basu, the AL leader said the "forces of Evil and terrorists" of Jamaat-Shibir had taken the protection of Ahmed Hassan, the local representative of Trinamool Congress and Naya Diganta correspondent (Bangladeshi newspaper), at the time of joint forces' operation in Satkhira. Selim alleged that with the help of the BNP-Jamaat, separatists had announced war against the Indian government. But the government of Prime Minister ![]() the Battling Begums.. had not allowed anyone including the Ulfa who were involved in separatist movements. He also said none would be able to locate a separatist on the land of Bangladesh. "It is a matter of regret that the Bangladeshi forces of Evil and turbans enjoy shelter in India," the former minister said. "Now that the India-Bangladesh relation is very excellent, we have to be aware about those who want to fissure it." Selim said: "I request Mamata Banerjee not to assist the Bangladeshi bad boys. Please arrest them and hand over to our government. They are forces of Evil and terrorists. They have no country and have networks all over the world. They may put India in trouble." He also urged Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Sing to take effective steps to address the issue. |
