West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Roopa Ganguly has made a controversial statement today (22 August 2018) regarding partition. Roopa said that after the partition of 1947, West Bengal became a part of India as it was for the Hindus.
Roopa said that the partition was done so that Pakistan becomes a Muslim nation and Bangladesh was mainly for the Muslims. Roopa also said that West Bengal was for the Hindus who returned from Bangladesh.
Roopa Ganguly made such statement when she was asked of her views on the draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) list.
"Politically incorrect...Partition was done so Pak becomes Muslim nation; Bangladesh mainly for Muslims, Bengal part of India as it was for Hindus who returned from Bangladesh. Only Hindus aren't refugees, Buddhists, Jains are refugees too who came from different parts of the world to India," said Bengali film actress turned politician Roopa Ganguly.
